Loved the show overall.
I recently saw this cast of Miss Saigon, it was a fantastic version, I have seen most of them. Makes me cry every time.
I always forget how powerful 'As long as he needs me'. Makes me really teary, watching 92 yo Shani Wallis the other week on BGT just really made me stop and listen to the song properly, when you watch Oliver as a kid you dont really think about it, so so sad as its so real for many people! Incredible she is still singing like that so many years later.
The Producers is a brilliant show, there is a film of it also which is worth watching.
I am clearly odd as I quite enjoyed the Paddington song, have seen the same songs on most things so nice to see something different, I would like to see it.
JCS is my all time favourite, I go every time it tours or is in the West End. My favourite still remains the arena tour although saw a fantastic touring cast a couple of years ago and the Jesus (was actually understudy and usually played Judas) was incredible, just really natural and superb voice (Luke Street). Not an overactor like a lot of theatre actors. I have tickets for July, we are seeing Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Herod. I was very nervous Sam Ryder wouldn't be able to act the song but I thought he did brilliantly, esp given that the cameras are up close so you can't get away with anything.
I love most musicals but Wicked is definitely not my favourite. I like a couple of the songs but not massively fussed.
