I don’t have much recollection of it – but we didn’t know any of the performers, and my guess was that it was about now that I started to realise that (shock horror!) I don’t really like Chicago as a show much – I dislike the way it celebrates the bad and mocks the good.
This was only my second time of seeing Chicago (and Mrs Chrisparkle’s first) and I knew it had undergone a huge structural revamp from its original 1970s production – so I wanted to see what the fuss was for myself.
Chicago – Milton Keynes Theatre, 13 th June 2007.Sadly this was the last time we saw NDT2 until 2016. I entered a competition by Dance Consortium to win a signed programme – and I won! So a couple of week’s later they sent it to me – as you can see in the pictures. The programme consisted of Jiri Kylian’s Sleepless, then Lightfoot/Leon’s Sleight of Hand, and finally Alexander Ekman’s Flockwork. Nederlands Dans Theater 2 – Swan Theatre, High Wycombe, 6 th June 2007Īlways a delight to see NDT2, the young company of the Nederlands Dans Theater, on one of their regular tours.As a result of their behaviour, not much of the rest of the production has stayed in my head. The evening was kind of ruined by a very noisy, drunk and fidgety couple behind us they didn’t take any hints from the people around them that they basically needed to shut up, and at the end several punters from the nearby seats rounded on them in complaint. This was my third visit to see a production of Evita, but there was such a vibe about how good Elena Roger was in the part that we thought we simply had to see it and indeed she was. Evita – Adelphi Theatre, London, 19 th May 2007.It’s still a landmark work though, and Mr Lindsay was as brilliant as you’d expect. Even fourteen years ago, The Entertainer was something of a period piece let’s face it, few of us remember the Cheeky Chappie Max Miller nowadays.
We went with our friends Paul and Pauline to see John Osborne’s famous play – the first time I’d seen it – with the huge attraction of seeing Robert Lindsay in the part of Archie Rice. The Entertainer – The Old Vic, London, 7 th May 2007.
