That's four minutes, fifty two seconds I'll never get back!

It was worth staying up till 3am for the premiere of this great new version. I cracked open a single beer at 2am after a non-drinking Sunday. I enjoyed most of the preceeding performances and cultural essays too from 1am. The Boys kept their cool for this but in their own way were wishing us a happy...

It was nice to see Neil and Chris in the audience for the 4 o'clock show today a really very funny one woman show thank you Frances for bringing Billie Trix to life. Frances Barber was even more brilliant than ever (if that is possible) for the last performance. She garnered rounds of applause for ...
