The Musicals/Stage Productions Topic!!!

I’ve also seen Inside No.9 Stage/Fright (once or twice……) and it really is a fab show that alludes well to the TV series. A good mix of fan service and new material that everyone seems to really enjoy! Great news that it’s going on tour later in the year as it’s been such a smash hit down here.

A truly fitting end to what was a phenomenon of a TV series.
 
Just got back from seeing Red Or Dead at Liverpools Royal Court theatre.

Adapted from David Peace's book of the same name it tells the story of Bill Shanklys arrival at Liverpool, his success, shock retirement, and what happened next.

Peter Mullan was great as Bill Shankly.

Really enjoyed this, obviously as a Liverpool supporter it's massively in my wheel house having grown up on tales of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, and the boot room.

Good use of songs of the era, as well as terrace chants, and of course you'll never walk alone.
 
Just been to see Hamilton at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.

My third time seeing it now after London and Manchester. Such a great production this, nice thing now having seen it a few times I'm able to catch more stuff going on in the background and how the actors are interpreting the roles and songs slightly differently.
 
Last night I saw Cockfosters.
A very entertaining comedy set on a Piccadilly line as it leaves Heathrow and heads east. A cast of six play the various characters that come and go, leading to some rather surreal sketches. Loads of jokes only a true Tube regular would get.
Pretty much the entire audience was made up of fellow tube geeks. 🤣

Was surprised to see they made use of a certain Jay Foreman song. I assume he was more than up for letting them.

My personal highlight was
The rivalry between north / south and east / west coming to a head, via the medium of a rap battle.
 
Back at the theatre today at Liverpool Playhouse to see an adaptation for stage of Alfred Hitchcocks North By Northwest.

NORTH X NORTHWEST

Official website for the new UK stage production of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller NORTH BY NORTH WEST. Adapted and Directed by Emma Rice.

A play consisting of 6 actors, 1 playing Roger Thornhill, with the other 5 playing a multitude of roles. Plus a surprising amount of coats and suitcases.

The films a massive favourite of mine so was interested to see how it would work, and for the most part it stays very faithful to the plot of the film.

It's dramatic, brilliantly staged, a surprising amount of dance numbers, and very funny throughput.

Would definitely recommend it if your able to get to a show.
