I haven't seen Ben other than in a couple of video clips so can't really compare the two, but what i can say is its been a while since i saw the show in Manchester now and I - you know what's coming - remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.
And what i really remember is that from the opening moment to the last bow, not only did Andrew have immense stage presence, for me he was the living embodiment of the character Jim has been writing about for decades. Andrew for me in that 2 hours plus, WAS Jim in many ways, and what in another reality Jim would have liked to be. Like I say, I can't comment on Ben - other than his look not being as...let's say frantic - but like everything, I'm sure there are some who prefer his take on the role. It comes down to one truth about any role in any show though...there's a reason Andrew is the lead and Ben is understudy. |

MORE TICKETS FOR SALE
Due to severe and unforeseen illness, I have a couple of tickets for: Tuesday 6th June at 7:30. Dress circle centre, C29 and C30 (best view in the house? Close enough). Face value is £96.50 each (though I'm selling as a pair for face value or reasonable offers). As you may have guessed they're not my tickets - I'm selling for a very good friend who is sadly now unable to go (long story, and unfortunately not a good one). Feel free to drop me a PM for details, photos, offers, etc. To anyone who hasn't seen it but will be -- I hope you enjoy! |

4 (2x2) tickets
I see that others post tickets for sale in this thread, so I'll guess it's ok for me to market my tickets here too...
I have four (2x2) tickets for the Bat-musical that I sell for under face value. I secured the tickets very early and scored good seats. 10th July: STALLS-section £160 (original price £175.95) 11th July: DRESS-section £200 (original price £221.55) See more information here: http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20312 |

Yeah, definitely an interesting bit of writing. I was poking fun at the author while my wife and I had our morning coffee. Meat was just saying on Facebook yesterday that his career will end with Acting, so I knew there was pretty much no way he would be performing. I am glad he is setting healthy boundaries for himself. Plus, Andrew and Christina are wonderful performers, and I really enjoy the entire young cast performing Meat and Jim's work.

Here's hoping we'll see the day, like you said if/when he is healthy enough, and I'll add to want to do it without feeling an obligation |

I really like the musical. Perfect songs in right order. But if I could change a song than I would replace "who needs the young" by "the graveyard shift" (performed by Falco at the top of the Falco-tower) and add a part of "life is a lemon" to "all revved up/ wasted youth".
But I would never change anything, because it is Jims work and he is the only one who knows what is the best. Last edited by Roger; 18 May 2017 at 21:19. |

Not sure how to tread on ticket prices.
I've bought three tickets for under a ton. Have I a bargain or do I need Brian May to provide us with a long lens? |

Just watched the promo on Britain's got Talent. Great performance from Andrew. Christina seems weak at all of these promo events...luckily she is better in the real thing.
The dancing quite frankly was a mess and isn't much better in the show. This needs sorting out. |
