Peru since Paddington Bear.

I trust all the JDF fans are listening now. I've got it on, though I missed the start because I was at a cricket match at Harborne. The applause at the end of the "number" he just sang seemed to go on for ever so I assume he has many fans in the audience too. He was pretty impressive I've got to say.

When in doubt, wash.

And watching - swoon!!!  Kiss

It was excellent. I'd prepared myself to be a bit disappointed but I needn't have. OK, the camera wasn't always in the right place and, particularly in Act 2, the lip-synch was slightly out, but it was great fun, the singing was sensational, and I'm pleased I decided (at the very last minute!) to go. In fact I was so last minute I nearly didn't get a seat - I was in the front row as most of the other seats had sold out! (The ticket-seller was surprised too at lots of tickets selling just before it started.) Some of the cinema audience actually applauded along with the Met audience. It was a good atmosphere. And someone stood up during the interval and said he had 2 spare tickets for La Fille du Regiment at the Met on Friday which he couldn't use, would anyone like them? (Not for free!) Now that would've been a thrilling impulse-buy!

Anyone else go to see it in a cinema, despite the overpriced tickets?

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Not suprised.

Since I had seen the ROH DVD through twice in the last few days I didn't listen.  But glad to hear it went down so well.
