Radio Sheffield are going to be speaking to some of the guys in the next 10 minutes or so :bigsmile:

Who is actually performing this show? Is it Amateur? I can't find anything that tells you the company name. Maybe i'm just being short sighted!

Hi Snook, it's Croft who are performing. We usually perform at The Lyceum but we've come back to The City Hall for this one.

Going to this tonight and looking forward to it

Hey Mrs DJ, hope you enjoy it :wave:

Thanks Mrs DJ, really glad you enjoyed the show. You were a fabulous audience, but then we've had the whole theatre up and dancing every night. Only 3 more shows left now, don't miss out on a great night out, book your tickets if you haven't already. :bigsmile:

You lucky thing Jennyren. . . .
I went to see it last night and it was great. . . took me by surprise initially as it was set in America and all the cast had american accents.
You will love the finale.
Enjoy:)

thank you foindi.really enjoyed the show..

The show was amazing my friends ex was in it, they all did a fab job was great. I even got a kiss and a wave, a good feel of bums oh and a pic took with them all. Im one happy lady x

Thanks everyone for your kind words, it was a fantastic week and one that I know we'll all remember for a long time to come.

On a sadder note, I think it only right to acknowledge the amazing professionalism of our Musical Director Andy Booth and our Band. In the early hours of Saturday morning our Bass Player, Jon Ashby, aged 28 passed away suddenly and without any warning.

A decision was taken to not to tell the cast of this terrible tragedy and both Saturdays performances went on as planned with a deputy taking Jon's place. Jon was a personal friend of Andy and many other members of the band. I'm filled with respect for all of them that they carried on in such appalling circumstances. My heart goes out to all Jon's friends and family. RIP.

How terrible.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Awwwww that's awful my thoughts go out to everyone xxx

For all those of you who enjoyed The Full Monty, I wanted to let you know that the same company are appearing at The Lyceum Theatre in March with a new production: Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Obviously this a very different show, but if you liked what you saw at The City Hall last summer, you might enjoy seeing some of the same people tackling something much darker.

This is the same musical that the recent Johnny Depp film was based on and has fabulous music by Stephen Sondheim. Please let me know if you want any further information.
