The Musicals/Stage Productions Topic!!!

The only glaring issue with the show is the pre-recorded sections, stuff that would play well in a cinema, on headphones or a TV screen does not mesh well with theatre acoustics and the live noise. This was quite immersion breaking, and didn’t quite translate some aspects of the TV show, however this is a broader issue with modern tech within a theatrical setting as I had the same issue with Hamilton last year. Audio acoustics in theatres are setup very differently to cinemas, and when there’s a moment designed as if it was TV or Film, it kind of falls flat.

I saw it during its long run at The Wyndhams in London, and the section you are referring to was absolutely seamless. That's always the problem with seeing the touring versions of shows, they can never have as comprehensive and bespoke set design, effects and staging when that stage changes each night.

But most importantly, who was your specual guest?

I had Keith Brymer Jones as the special guest, who I didn’t really know but knew enough to understand that they made the show fit around the Pottery background of Stoke-On-Trent. Not as exciting as some of the other special guests they’ve had in the past few weeks but the older, largely Gen X audience seemed to love the fact he showed up!
 
Seeing Stage/Fright in Liverpool next week, really looking forward to it.

Saw Pemberton and Sheersmith when they were doing an In Conversation type discussion tour about the show back in 2021.
 
We're booked in to the production of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, at Riverside Studios, at the end of the month.

Not sure what to expect. The FAQ says "Is this a theatre show, or an 'immersive experience'?.... Yes!"
It has to be better than the film.
