Jersey Boys

At least the cats were amusing    (turned the sound off after a minute or so)

To quote historian Stephen Pile, "No one,before or since,has succeeded in liberating themselves quite so completely from the shackles of musical notation".

I'm another Les Mis fan and it was a close call between Jersey Boys and Les Mis we went to see.

I think my daughter would have loved it but there was just a chance she wouldn't and it would have been unfair for her to sit through quite a long show if she didn't.

I though similar for Jersey Boys too but the show was that much shorter.

I also had seen Les Mis before and not Jersey Boys, so it kind of made the best sense to go and see what we did.

Funnily enough my next visit to the West End could be in just a few weeks as my brother and his son will be down my neck of the woods.

His son though is not much bothered about theatre so I'm thinking possibly the show he might like the most (and again one that I have yet to see, even though it has been around for a while now) is Stomp.

Has any of you fellow 'Nutters' seen the show, if so what did you think of it?

Utter shit.

It's for poncy "aspirational" people who live on jam butties and never put the fire on because they can't afford the mortgage but who think they have to go to the theatre to retain their "middle class" status so they decide to go and watch a musical because that's what posh people do and it must be  posh because it's staged in a theatre, innit?

Make 'em sit through two hours of Ibsen or Brecht and they'd never come back but show 'em a load of goons rollerskating round pretending to be trains or some bloke in a lion mask holding up a stuffed toy up and shouting "Hakuna matata" and they think they're refined.

Bollocks!

Come the Glorious Day.......up against the wall.

Not massively, no.

I think I need a chocolate milk.

No to a hair of the dog then to level out?

Absolutely not.

No more booze until next Friday now.

Once a week's more than enough these days.
