Sinatra

Old Blue Eyes is back.... on stage in the London Palladium in a new musical! Went up there on Thursday night to see it and it was superb. Basically it's 'The Frank Sinatra Story' on stage. What do you get? Well, a fantastic 25 piece big band live on the stage, with dancers and backing singers... and the main man himself on various screens that move around the stage. They've digitally extracted him from TV and concert performances down the years, so you see him, and him alone on each screen. The sound is superb, and the actual footage of Frank is brilliant, covering right from the early Tommy Dorsey era through the Rat Pack years to some of his best later work. If you're a Sinatra fan, you'll love this - it's a great tribute to the man and his music. I'd be happy to go again! :)

of visiting the Vegymite! :ermmmThat's because you live in east London. It's a big old town is that London and east and west are a few miles, and more than a few minutes by public transport, apart. It's not as though you only live round the corner.

Yes, but I work in the West End.

i.e

Right NEXT door to the Comedy Club

I wouldn't have had any spare time anyway Vegy - this was an organised night out as my sister in law runs the local Asda social club and we get a very nice discount on the tickets and coach up to London.
