Apparently Sharon Osbourne is doing something at THe Mayflower in Southampton soon...or she may even already be doing it.:huh:

What you say about this Dol?

Agatha Christie's 'The Hollow' is on at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham this week. Stars include Gary Mavers, Chloe Newsome, Tony Britton, Kate O'Mara and Ben Nealon.

This week in our local Arts Centre - Habeaus Corpus by Alan Bennett - a wonderful production of a very funny play - not that I'm biased or anything!


Oh - and you can still see Miss Saigon at His Majesty's.

We have some cool things coming up at the little playhouse we have. I really want to see a few of them!! They just had 'Muddy Feers' and I was outta town!!:ranting:

At our 'local' playhouse, and I say local very loosely cos it's actaully Milton Keynes which is about 20 mins away, is an Elvis tribute type thing, and I am ging on Friday night. IT has had fantastic reviews and should be a good night.

Next week - Hay Fever starring - Stephanie Beacham and Christopher Timothy.

I'm going on Monday

I'm going to see Maureen Lipman in something called 'Martha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis' at Birmingham Rep on the 6th March.

Never heard of it, but it's a freebie with drinks first. :thumbsup:

"Oliver" at the Churchill in Bromley from 4th April. :thumbsup:

You playing the back end of Bullseye again Patsy? :)

That wasn't funny even when Floopy went there. :glare:

Funnily enough, I'm going right out of character and playing a busty wench in the Oompapah scene.

I see you more as Mrs Bumble :bye:

No, far too young and attractive. :bag: (me, not Mrs Bumble).

Sometimes a smiley is all you need

However, a punch up the bracket is probably what you'll get. :boxing:

How's the accent coming along? Have you been called "bab" yet? Silly me, of course you haven't.

I'm off to see 'Starlight Express' at the Mayflower - Southampton on the 2nd April...

Mama Coastie has always wanted to see it...I'm not too fussed but am looking forward to a night out at the theatre anyway!:good:

I have a line! Only one, but it's a loud one!

And no, it's not "woof!"

Hope Mama Coastie enjoys it, Coasters. I wanted to walk out at the interval. Not my "thing" at all but my friend had taken me as a birthday "treat" so I had to stick it to the end :(

Oom-pah-pah?

Knives. knives to grind?

Nope. Not even close.

I Not my "thing" at all but my friend had taken me as a birthday "treat" so I had to stick it to the end :(

A friend took me to see this as well for my birthday treat. Was good but it just went on for too long really. There is only so much rollerblading you can watch

Well its been Mama Coasties long held ambitions so I hope she isn't dissapointed! :unsure:

Just saw Blood Brothers last night - second time I've seen it - still brilliant!

Still haven't seen that, Robster, but everyone says how good it is.

13 days to go to first night of Oliver. We have a dog now - which is nice.

Patsy, you didn't get your dog from a woman who was walking it in the park did ya?

Now that might seem a daft question but when me and Maz were coming back from London on Tuesday, we got chatting to a nice young chap who came from Kent and during our conversation about the theatre he happened to mention that his mum had one of those dogs like the one in Oliver with the black patch over one eye and she'd been approached by someone and asked if she'd be willing for it to appear in a stage play of Oliver.

If it was the same one, wouldn't that be an incredible co-incidence? :unsure:

That really is a coincidence, Crit, because the woman who brought the dog in said it was her son's dog - well, bitch actually. She had just had an operation.

Well, what about that then?!

Ask her if her son is a handsome young man who drives his dads American car at Goodwood.

I'm seeing her on Sunday, so I will!

Yeah, and did you see him on our local news Maz? He was leaning on the Corvette in the background when they were interviewing the main people about the Festival of Speed. :)

I wouldn't know a Corvette if it run over me but I'd told Phil about it and he said "that's a Corvette there" and sure enough, there was the bloke we were chatting to :)

How old is he?

Dunno Pats - mid twenties I'd guess. Maz might know though, she was sitting nearer than me and I didn't catch everything he said.

He looked mid twenties but could be a bit older, something he said made me think he was older than he looked. His partner is pregnant though not far into pregnancy and there is a problem he is worried she might lose it. He is a fitter of some kind either shops or offices. He smokes has very short dark hair and is a slim build.

They recently went to see Dirty Dancing and didn't think much of it. He has stayed in Bognor at Butlins years ago.

He talks to strange women on trains.:shocking:

I didn't see the programme Crit but will try and remember when they show the actual Festival of Speed in June.

How old is he?

Oh, here we go:laugh:

I'll report you to fatloser

No, I only ask because the woman who I sing with is in her mid 40s, so she could theoretically be old enough, but it's looking increasingly unlikely.

I'll be seeing her tomorrow, so will ask her.

Fee, now would be a good time because we're not speaking.

Probably not the same one then Patsy as I don't think his mum was part of he performance.

Went and saw Starlight express the other night...Mama Coastie was not disappointed....nor was my mate...I could have taken or left it really but was mildly entertained for a short while or so...

Guys and Dolls and then Flash Dance are coming up at the local theatre so could be going again soon!

Probably not the same one then Patsy as I don't think his mum was part of he performance.

No, it's not the same one. We have a different dog now, brought in by a woman in her 50s. I asked her if it belonged to her or her son. It belongs to her and she was spotted by a cast member, walking him (he's called Jack) in the park one morning.

He was sick in the wings on Monday night, during the technical rehearsal, which was nice.

I'm going to see 'Guys and Dolls' on Thursday night with Mama Coastie, my niece and my niece's mum. I'm really looking forward to it.:yahoo:

Have heard numerous reports that Flashdance is cack so wont bother with that one now. :assshake:

Guys and Dolls was fabulous...the first half was a little slow but the second was amazing...I've had 'Luck be a Lady' and 'Sit Down Sit Down Your Rocking the Boat' whizzing round my head ever since...marvellous!

All the girls were swooning at Nigel Harman who I didn't realise was in it until I got there :blush: not that he does much for me...

Just saw the schools version of Les Mis at His Majesty's - brilliant it was too (practically no different to the full version) - all under twenty one too.

The place was packed - even the Gods - and they got a well deserved standing ovation at the end.
