The Susan Boyle Musical IDAD 2012 Tour Post-Newcastle

[UKSusanfanAnn]

Not sure where to post this, but will stick it here. On my continued travels in the UK - just got home Thurs - I watched one of those "entertainment" report shows. They said that the Spice Girls are planning a musical and it would be written by Jennifer Saunders (who is very talented and funny) which would be out in the fall. However, due to "bickering" it will have to be postponed til next year. Elaine and Michael were VERY smart to get this musical about Susan out early. This will pretty much set the standard.

Oh that is interesting about the Spice Girls musical zeldasw, last I heard it was going ahead. I believe there is another musical Coronation St. The Musical (?) in the works, they will all have a very difficult time keeping up with IDAD THe Musical.

Anyone here going to Liverpool?? On another forum that I belong to, there is a fan who has tickets for two shows. This individual called the theatre and was told Miss Boyle would be doing one show there but was not told which one. My advice to anyone who has tickets for Liverpool, if the ONLY reason they are going is to see Miss B, to keep checking their radios and papers, etc.

Sounds like they meant one of the two shows for which she had tickets. Doubt seriously if it meant she would only be doing one show for the week. I suppose that could be true, but I doubt it.

Yes, that could be....i know when you call a theatre for information, you are sometimes talking to someone who works part time and has no idea. I am making no claims this is totally true, but I just saw it so i posted it.
Just a messenger here of things we may not know.

Smart of the producers to keep the staging for IDAD simple and it has a decidedly happy ending. Apparently the Coronation Street musical "The Street of Dreams" had to be rescheduled due to the "intricacy of scale in the staging" and will now open in May. A lot of recent musicals were short-lived, for example 'The Holocaust Musical' (how could they?) and 'Gone With the Wind', pretty cheesy I understand. Neither had happy endings but I'm not sure if that was the problem, Cabaret in 1970 and Sweeny Todd in 1979 ended tragically yet both were an instant sensation and are still around. Titanic the Musical in 1997 won five Tony's including the Best Musical award and is still touring.

I posted this before but think it might have been lost in the shuffle. It is a brief clip from opening night and Susan sounds - well Bloody Fantastic!! They asked for audience comments and mine is last. Click a few times until the arrow appears.

UKSusanfan....I am an avid Corrie follower and I can't imagine a musical based on "the Street".!!!!

Clemmie. Thanks for the snipet of Susan singing IDAD. She looks and sounds "Bloody Fantastic".

You sound wonderful too. I think you liked the Show.

This is great, Clemmie. You speak for all of us ~ and very well, too.

BTW, quite a few of us show up in the crowd shots, which is nice.
