ive seen quite a few musicals as my mum and gran really enjoy them so we normally go as a family, and its good as well cos of all my dancing/drama/performing arts stuff. the first musical i saw was cats when i was about 5 cos i was doing it at dancing so my parents took us to see it as theyd seen it before and really enjoyed it (i saw it again a few years later too). ive also seen joseph, mama mia, we will rock you, grease, the king and i, beauty and the beast, the lion king (twice as i went for stage management last year), chitty chitty bang bang, mary poppins, doctor dolittle (twice cos the first time we went some of the special effects/set werent working so we got free tickets to go again!), chicago (when i was in new york), starlight express, billy elliot (for my 18th bday), footloose, and i saw phantom of the opera in southend. the last one i saw was lord of the rings at the end of may. i dont know which one i enjoyed best cos i enjoyed them all! the lion king is amazing though, the costumes are really good! when i was in year 10 my performing arts group went to see les miserables but i didnt go cos my mum said it would work out cheaper if i didnt go with the school, still havent actually seen it though! the next ones i wanna see are dirty dancing and wicked

Feel the need to share - Saw Lord of the Rings last night

[Kirsty :]]

Oohhh I've seen Starlight Express too! It's amazing isn't it?
I've seen Thoroughly Modern Millie, Fosse and 42nd Street too (girl in dancing was in that again) I need to see more!

I did, i really enjoyed LOTR. I think some of the acting could have been better, but i thought it was an amazing show. Not too many songs - which i thought was good because i did think Lord of the Rings the musical would have been really strange. The set and the stage WOW, i think everyone needs to see it just to take in that - awesome. I think the whole thing was put together really well and to condense 3 like 3 hour films into one 3 hour show was good
I really enjoyed it, but then again i enjoyed the films. My friend never was really into the films and therefore didn't enjoy the musical as much.
I think it was great and im glad i saw it before it closes.

i cant really remember much of it cos i saw it ages ago, but i thought it was really amazing how they can dance wearing rollerskates!

glad you enjoyed it we werent gonna see it yet but then we found out it was finishing in july so we booked it up quick lol! i agree about the set, i loved the way they made the stage look like a huge tree! and i think it was easier to understand than the films. the only thing i thought wasnt as good was i didnt think the orcs were that scary (apart from when they were in the audience!) but me and my sis really want some of those springy legs they had lol! they used them in the lion king too and they look so fun!
