I watched it on New Years Eve & really enjoyed it!!

I loved this too. Suspect we're a bit niche for Mumsnet, but so many fantastic performances.

I loved it - a little too many copied pieces from Hey Mr Producer (which is scarily over 20 years ago!!) but I loved it.

I loved it. I think it was the best thing I saw on TV over Christmas. Such a talented man.

Hadn't seen this before, made me laugh - Video interlude from Hey Mr Producer featuring Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim.

I watched this last night - great stuff. Have had Loving You as an earworm all day.

I was mostly just blown away by all the older women and their style, charisma and stamina. And of course by the genius of Sondheim, but that's indisputable.

It was stunning. Have been lucky enough to see a fair bit at Chichester. Think Sondheim would be more popular if people realised how funny he was...

Just finished!
Fantastic, and the joy of the performers in the last few pieces. I could (and will) watch it all over again.
