I am off to see the Dream Girls!
 

Hello forum,

My eldest has surprised me and my wife with two tickets to see Dream Girls the theatre show on West End in the savoy theatre in London. We haven't seen a show in years so we are over the moon! It was a joint present for both our birthdays.

We love the music of motown - especially Diana Ross and the supremes. There is Amber Riley starring in it - the judge off Gary Barlow's new show .

I'm so excited and thought I'd share the news! We will be heading to London tomorrow and be away until Sunday as we are making it a mini trip. Staying in Victoria.

Is anyone else seeing any shows? Or do you have any past stories of going to see a show?

R.

okay have fun mate :hee:


Amber Riley is a really good singer and performer, she also won dancing with the stars in USA :flutter:

I didn't know that Nicky - a very talented woman then! R.

she truly is talented, also from Glee as Mercedes, who frequently there had a diva off with Lea Michele's character Rachel Berry :hee:

The Savoy Theatre is lovely... have a great time!

Lucky you, I love the West End, last show I saw was Wicked which was about 8 months ago now so i'm due to go, will be interested in your review.

I saw it and it was amazing! If you like motown songs you should see Motown, the musical. Its full of wonderful music. Next week I'm going to see An Inspector Calls, I love thrillers!

I've seen Wicked and it's brilliant. Love the songs and dancing numbers.

She was amazing live.

Have a good time :love:

yeah i know, i find Lea Michele however sounding a bit too much like barbra streisand, too musical :hehe:

Is that still going, I saw it years ago, it's very funny from what I can remember.

It's a new production. Hope its good .

I was a bit disappointed in it :bawling: but then Im not a bit Wizard of Oz fan,so maybe that was the problem and we got it on a Lastminute.com deal so iwe went because it was cheap :laugh:

I just loved the singing :laugh: But for me the best musical will always be The Phantom of the opera. It was sublime!:flutter:

i thought this was a strip club

It's a play :laugh:

Don't think Mrs Rogers would be happy with that !!! Ha ha R.

I'll post a review when I'm back. Have a lovely weekend everyone. R.

Enjoy R!

Hope you enjoy yourself, R!

What a fab gift for you and your wife. I love to go see musical theatre. I've seen phantom of the opera 4 times and blood brothers 3 times!! Never tire of those shows. I've also seen Cats, Rocky Horror Show, Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed ever show apart from Cats. I didn't enjoy Cats because I took someones place as they were were ill and the tickets were up in the Gods and I was going dizzy having panic attacks with being so high LOL. I'd love to see Jersey Boys, but then again, I'd love to see them all. Enjoy your show and let us know when you've been.

If I go to see a show I like to sit in the stalls. I'm not very good with heights, lol Going to see An Inspector Calls and Grease next. :hee:

Jersey Boys is amazing, I need to see that again :dance:

I always sit in the stalls when I'm buying my own ticket. I forgot, I saw Grease too....lets do the hand jive baby LOL
