Tomorrow when it's on it's programme listed under digital theatre(who produced the filming) but then it's on again on Christmas day at 7.25am and it says funny girl the musical. Doesn't make sense that it's only programme listed properly on Christmas day but not tomorrow :wacko:

Finally after 3 and a half years I'm going to get to watch funny girl. Roll on 8pm tonight. Can't wait. Everyone enjoy :dance:

😃

OK this is my opinion on funny girl. Some people might not like some of the things I say so I apologise in advance. The good things about it are when fanny first meets Nick, the wedding scene and suduction scene and I love Darius' attempts at dancing and I also love at the end when they are taking their bows and they are given flowers and D offers his flowers to Sheridan. Just proves what a nice guy he is. The bad points are I didn't like that it was over half an hour before D came on stage and I didn't like the scene where it was meant to be fanny's opening night on stage(the one just before her and Nick have an argument because he missed it) I think it was meant to look like fanny was involving the audience she's playing to but sometimes I felt like it was Sheridan just being herself talking to the real audience. That bit looked a bit pantoish to me and took away from it being a musical :( all in all if I'm being completely honest in whether I would watch it again I'm not sure I would which I know I'll upset people by saying but it's just my opinion. Sorry but I don't feel it was his best maybe it would of been better live but I never got the chance sadly :(

Don’t apologise Polly.

I havent seen the film so I have no comment.

The musical was mainly about Fanny and taking part in a show.

I did enjoy the live performance but it was a while ago now so I cannot remember it that well.

My comments are purely based on the musical. I have seen the film but years ago.

Yes, sorry for the cofusion. I was refering to the film/dvd of the musical with D and S in.

I said film as it was on the cinema and then tv. 😉

Maybe seeing live was better I'm just going off watching it on sky arts.

I did like the party scene where they are all dancing and darius is just standing in the corner smoking a cigar. That did make me laugh.

Next showing on Sky Arts is at 1.25 pm on Monday.

 

I watched it for the second time early this morning. I'm still getting used to the tour cast.

 

Really miss Joel Montague's Eddie. I really empathised with his character at the Savoy because emotions seem more intense in the theatre

I wasn't keen on it when I watched it for the first time last week but maybe I should give it one more chance seen as Darius is in it :D

Just heard Sheridan's next role will be playing the narrator in Joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat. No word yet on who will play Joseph but could definatly see Darius playing that role :)

Just over heard something on the radio. Alls I heard was the cast of funny girl and the 5th of June. Not much I know but I'll try and find out what it was.
