My Theatre Roundup Questions

I found this little game from someone's blog and thought it might be fun to try it. First, I have to list the last 10 things I saw at the theatre in order and then there will be a series of questions regarding different stuff.. OK Here we go!

The last 10 things I saw at the theatre in order:
1. Joseph [UK Tour] at the Leeds Grand
2. Billy Elliot: The Musical at the Victoria Palace
3. The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's
4. Monty Python's Spamalot [UK Tour] at York Grand Opera House
5. The Rocky Horror Show [UK Tour] at the Leeds Grand
6. Chess [UK Tour] at the Lowry
7. Oklahoma! [UK Tour] at Manchester Opera House
8. Evita [UK Tour] at the Lowry
9. Legally Blonde: The Musical at the Savoy
10. Blood Brothers at the Phoenix

Who was the best performer in number one?
Probably Keith Jack as the title role of Joseph, still can't compare with other Josephs I've heard or seen such as Donny Osmond, Lee Mead or Jason Donovan.

Why did you go to see number two?
It was my London getaway and I had never seen Billy Elliot so I paid a visit to see what all the hype was about. It turned out to be a great afternoon.

Can you remember a line/lyric from number three that you liked?
Are you kidding? I can remember the whole libretto of Phantom! My most favourite bit was "Seal my fate tonight, I hate to have to cut the fun short, but the joke's wearing thin, let the audience in, let my opera begin".

What would you give number four out of ten?
I like Spamalot but this production couldn't live up to my expectation so maybe a 6 out of 10.

Was there someone hot in number five?
Someone hot in Rocky Horror Show?? There were muscular guy running around in speedo and a transvestite!

What was number six about?
How do you summarise Chess? It's about a love triangle between an American chess player, his second and a Russian chess player during the World Chess Championship in Merano and Bangkok amidst the political background of the Cold War. Not a good storyline for a musical, eh? But it turns out to be a pretty impressive production.

Who was your favourite actor in number seven?
No one! I hated the show! But the best one would have to be Vas Constanti as Ali Hakim, such a hilarious performance.

What was your favourite bit in number eight?
You Must Love Me scene. Moving!

Would you see number nine again?
Anytime! Legally Blonde's a blast!

What was the worst thing about number ten?
The accent!

Which was best?
This is hard to choose. I love Phantom and I think it's a classic. Chess was really inventive and impressive. Legally Blonde was also a great show to see this season!

Which was worst?
Oklahoma! hands down. The production was amateur and the music was boring.

Did any make you cry?
Yep! I cried during "Letter Scene" in Billy Ellliot and "You Must Love Me" in Evita. Too bad Phantom and Blood Brothers couldn't move me. Oklahoma! made me cry because it was bad and I paid for a programme and souvenir brochure that look exactly the same.

Did any make you laugh?
Spamalot, Rocky Horror and Legally Blonde were all hilarious

Which roles would you like to play in any of them?
I would love to play "Dad" in Billy Elliot, "Narrator" in Blood Brothers, "King Arthur" in Spamalot, and if my vocal range allows me, Phantom (from Phantom, duh?) and Emmett (from Legally Blonde)!

Which one did you have best seats for?
I'm not sure. I think it's Phantom. I got centre stall, 3rd row from the front and the chandelier crash went past my head. Love that!

Thanks for reading, now you do one!
