So we went to LB today. hhhhmmmm. It was gonna be my first time seeing Lee so I already had my wits about it! Seeing that Jane was on as Enid cheered me up tho!
It was a last minute trip, literally just happened to be around at half 9ish and noticed not many people queuing so decided to go! Was slightly annoyed to start with cos thy opened late (as per usual at LB) then the bloke at box office allowed the women in front of me to buy 3 tickets! Even tho they state it's 2 per person!
The show started off well as normal, Ibinabo was away which was a shame as u cannot beat her Pilar and tbh imo I don't feel Kimmy's voice blends as well with Carley's and Nicola's, but that aside we then get to Harvard Variations! And Lee walks out, now as I have said before, I was willing to see him, willing to give him a chance, but I was not impressed! His American accent isn't even there! He speaks like a private schooled proper boy should! As for his singing, he can hold a tune but that's about it. He has no strength to his voice and not much leverage with keys. I didn't think he had great chemistry with the other cast and didn't think his voice went brilliantly with Susan's.
So we get past Lee, oh but before we do I don't want to forget the fact that he messed up a couple of his lines! (Apparently typical him if what I've heard about him in Wicked is to be believed). Then we come to Ireland, so Natalie comes on and I must admit, she didn't quite seem herself, she didn't do the 'ELLE FOCUS' in Chip On My Shoulder either, she just said it normally, then it unfolded more in act 2 when she cuts out all of her little comedy bits she had added. We found this a bit strange, didn't think much of it with the first couple of bits, then thought more and more about it the more she left out.
After the show we got talking and wondered if maybe Jerry had said something since he was there watching the show on Thursday, when Natalie came out she did not seem her normally cheery self, we asked her about it and she confirmed what we thought! This must have been an awful kick to her, for Jerry to basically say she isn't doing her job properly. Now if u, like us, am slightly appalled by this and love all the bits that Natalie has added in, show your support and sign this twitition!
Bring Back Natalie Casey's funny bits!
I know that Natalie probably shouldn't have added these bits in, but the point is the fans love it! So what is the harm in her doing it? Some of the other cast have added their own spin onto the part! DVO did it with the exact same part! And some of the other cast do, there are little bits that Susan/Nicola/Carley do that Sheridan, Or Amy, never used to do and vise versa! So why has he singled her out? Plus u have to remember that Jerry is American, America has a very different humour to us! That's why somethings were changed over here in the first place!
So basically to sum up, Lee sucks! Bring back Sheridan and Alex and Natalie's excellent comical moments!
Don't forget sign and share!

Oh and in case anyone cares, after that episode I then got on the train at Holborn to come home, got 4 stops to Liverpool Street and it wouldn't go any further! We then find out that someone had fallen on the track at Holborn! 4 Stops behind us! So they were suspending the line from Liverpool Street to White City! Now I'm sorry but with today's technology I'm sure there must be someway in which they can single out individual stations to turn the power of to! And can I also mention we had already been waiting nearly half hour before they decided to suspend it! So I was luckily at Liverpool Street so able to get overhead, but was unimpressed with the fact I then had to pay out for a single ticket and waste my return on the bus!

Good things about today would be seeing Cara and Britney, the Dress Circle signing in which I encountered an awkward moment with Cassie Comptom cos I didn't know who the blokes were who had signed my benefit poster lol! Well apart from Alex of course, she did find it funny tho and said in a couple of weeks I'll probably look at hers and not know who it is lol! She's probably right tbh :')
The other highlight was Jane being on at LB!
Until next time I feel like a moan!
TTFN! Ta ta for now!
