[josey]

vicki- i didnt realise the fever tour was finishing already?
i see fame in the west end i didnt like it much myself not one i,d see again. but dont let me put you off. that was just my opinion on it.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

the 2 that won this year - no idea what they are called - just know they are in the Fame tour next year..

Yeah me and torz should be seeing Lion King at the end of the month...

Yeah Josey...Fever tour was ending so Fame could tour

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

YAY - I have got Guys and Dolls tickets for my birthday!

[Carrie]

ooo Ive seen, Josesh ( with Jason Donovan * nods*) Grease, Tell me on a Sunday, Love Shack, Saucy Jacks ( best musical EVER) and theres one more i saw when i was at school but I can't remember the effing name.

oh and .............there's a travel Lodge in Covent Garden. I know that coz I nearly stayed there at Xmas.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

yeah me and torz and the most of the rest of the party are staying in the 1 in covent garden

[Torialou]

Giovanni was in fame tour last time around - wish I had seen that then :-)

The producers - thats next to footloose lol

Oh there are some £20 tix for Lion king vicky - up in the gods lol but hay.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

they have some £20 ones now...the best i could find was £30..

Unless we see if Tkts is open!

[Torialou]

Carrie whats saucy jaks?

Yeh the only thing with the covent travelodge is the price, been able to get some 4* hotels for the same price lol.

Like the look of the place for this time though lol

[Torialou]

tkts is open on a sun 11 I think it opens - the cheap ones gotta buy at box office. restricted view ones.

[Torialou]

I think we just see what we can pick up on the day - there are a couple of plays etc showing - one about rock etc.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

It's open at 12 on a sunday - i cant see why we can't try there for Lion King tickets - cos they will have some....it's been open since oct 99....

[scarletlee]

I've seen Joseph,Grease,Buddy Holly and Elvis!

[Mel]

Carrie whats saucy jaks?


Are you SERIOUS? If was a West End musical Faye did from December last year til Feb this year.
Its Carries fave cos it was dirttty and Faye was head of the Space Vixenss!

[Torialou]

I am serious mel hon - I am crap with names of anything.

I never got to see that show - thats y I am making sure I see this one

[Torialou]

can have a dig on the sat - see what people can offer us between seeing Giovanni and Ivan he he

[Torialou]

oh actually I will ask when I go for footloose tickets ha ha

[Carrie]

WHAT IS SAUCY JACKS? * cries*

It was the show Faye did in London. the best one she's done by a long way. It went on for a few months Tor, just coz it didnt tour a lot of people couldnt be arsed.

Faye was queen of the sexy biches.........as she always has been really :D

[Torialou]

I dont know y I could never do that one. I had meant to.

I did hear it was good - odd I never used to go to London - now I am always in London lol

Looking forward to seeing the new show though - Gonna make sure I get to a few venues of this if it kills me.

[mrsjwatkins]

i really wanted to se eit, by the time we organised how much and who was going and how we'd get there....it was over :(

[Torialou]

lol slow on decissions hon? I dunno y I love footloose so much - aside the cast lol

[mrsjwatkins]

well thing is i was supposed to be taking a little girl but her mum took so long to decide if she was allowed to go to london without her and if she cud afford it. shes supposed to be coming reading with us but knowing her she'll tell me night b4. its no big deal this time cos we're driving and we dont have to prebook any tickets

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

Torz - how different to the fever and movin Out theatre look now...

BUT WOW...WE ARE GOING TO WICKED!!!

Oh and the back of the circle...for the perviews I think...tickets are only a £5!!!!

[Torialou]

ohh can we go? I quite fancy seeing it - when is it? lol

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

it opens in September....i think it opens around the 20th

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

they are putting loads of money into this me thinks....

The question is HOW long will it last!

[Torialou]

Ohh I like the front too ha ha - I will have to find a day to see it lol.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

yeah i am going the 22nd september

[Torialou]

I think sometime in Oct for me lol - I think its nov it shuts

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

Wicked aint closing in Nov!!!! It's booking till Feb next year....

[josey]

i can add footloose to my list of musicals now great show, great dancing
vicki- i noticead few posts back you said about tkts doing lion king tickets? i dont think they do* is that the half price place your talking about in the middle of leicester sqe?* but i thnk there places @ leicester sqe that do reduced tickets, i always look on the tkts website n i,ve never seen lion king or mama mia tickets.
sorry to butt in like that.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

yeah footloose is great - going again tomorrow....

Yeah we found that out about Lion King....me and torz have to go hunting...cos we wanna see something on sunday

[Bobert]

I thought I was bad going to see Grease like 11 times ... but 72 times is CRAZY LOL!!!!

[Pcole]

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

haha rob....so did Jane from Footloose....

[Torialou]

ha ha ha ha under statement vicky ....

ivan invited us down to the pub for drinks after the show last time we were down. We went down and when Jane spotted us - she came over to join us. U should have seen her face when vicky told her - her mouth dropped ha ha - vicky actually closed it for her lol.

Then Giovanni started winding me up cos I tripped over the door step lol - was telling everyone I was pissed lol

Vicky been emailing India - gotta drop some stuff in with baz on the stage door for her on Sat. Said she would come down get it lol. To tell Baz not to give it to Derek - that if Derek got it - his nanna never would haha.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

ahh right ok...

Do you want me to scan some more of the prog?

[Torialou]

can do :-) I broke the code for the board now :-) we are in business lol

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

yay........

glad u found it hun!

[Torialou]

Oh did I ever tell you that Ivan mentioned drinks for ya bday when we saw him the other day again. Said IJI was waiting to get her shifts at work but that she wanted to come down too.

Gonna look for a new hotel in a min - was thinking I could look at huttons see if they have any cheap rooms for that night.

How many are we for Friday night? cos it might be cheaper for us to do Fri and sat at huttons if they have rooms. Plus they let us leave luggage and do brekkie lol.

[sarah1]

ooooo thinking about it i go to see the lion king a week on sunday

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

Oh did I ever tell you that Ivan mentioned drinks for ya bday when we saw him the other day again. Said IJI was waiting to get her shifts at work but that she wanted to come down too.



UMMMMM no you didn't tell me that....bless them both...

oh and it is IJY

[Torialou]

lmfao - I cant spell it :-)

at least I can say it lol - u know that night I was leaving ivan a note and had to put IJY's name - I was like baz u know how to spell IJY .... Jane ?!?! anyone haha

Lion King is good babes - we went the other week. Better view from up in the gods though - all the animals walk down the isles - its well cool
