I quite enjoyed the US version - for what it was.

Why repair something that isn't damaged?
Bring back the original LONDON B2B please!

Yes, Exactly David, WHY ???? & why repair something that isn't damaged, and change something that was great to an inferior version.

Whoever has made this decision, has made one of the worst decisions in the shows 5 year history.

The new Born to Boogie is bloody awful.
I have tickets for every show this week, but I hate the new B2B so much, that I may just sell them all and not bother going to the show at all.

Oh and by the way production company, if you make any other daft changes, then after 5 years and 101 shows, you may have just lost someone who has been a fan and defender of the show since it started on March 31st 2005 - and I might just have to start going to Wicked instead :o :D .

So change it back to the UK version, oh and I'm sure the Billys are delighted that they now have to learn the skipping routine in addition to all the other training they go through.

Keith

but lets get back to the reviews.

All I mean is we had a new Mrs Wilkinson start last night as well as new Ballet girls, Small Boy and Tall Boy. We also witnessed a wonderful performance by a great cast and all everybody can talk about is the new B2B.

Some positives from the show would be nice as well.

Well said; I loved our new Mrs Wilkinson, there were some great new ballet girls and accomplished performances from the new SB and TB.

Keefy. I am bustin' my xxxxx to get you those £19.50's for Row B and, instead, you're going to be across the road behaving, well, like a fruit. :D :lol: There's sod all for you over there. And think of what you'd be missing less than a hundred yards away :D .

I'll bet the Billys LOVE the skipping. They're boys and it's fun. I'll bet audiences will love it, too, and will come flocking to see it and that's what counts.

I just can't wait for next Thursday to see the new cast and what they all saw last night. See ya there ;) ;) ;)

As one of the Forum members who invests many, many hours in the writing of reviews, including lots of positive comments, I can confidently say that there will be many positive reviews coming up in the next few days, weeks etc. So, on that basis, what is wrong with drilling down a little bit into the aspects of the reviews for monday night - is discussion and debate non longer permitted on the Forum?

You can bet that Stephen is fine with whatever changes are made in the show. If he's OK with the rope skipping stuff, which I'm sure he is......we should be as well.
