Off to see this tomorrow afternoon, I've been booked for six months and the whole run was sold out before it even opened. It's getting great reviews and standing ovations.

Sandra I've seen bits on tv as it was on the Edinburgh Tattoo last year and it does look amazing. The theatre emailed me to say the audience have all to be seated at a certain time othwerwise you won't get in until a suitable break. I am going to make a day of it and go to my favourite Italian restaurant for lunch and then the show.

Oh, you know someone who was a horse's leg do you? Hmmmmm better than being the other part I suppose??? :lol:

John Wayne walks into a Saloon and says "Bartender,fix me a drink and get me a coathanger for my horse."
Bartender looks puzzled.
Wayne says,"You see, my horse is a Mustang and I must'ang him somewhere."

The show was very well done, when the horses took front stage they looked so real.

On entering the theatre I've never seen such crowds, even one of the Ushers when I spoke to him about it said it's crazy isn't it? It's great to see a theatre playing to a capacity audience and the applause echoed that.

As it was a matinee lots of older school children were there but when the lights dimmed and the play started you could have heard a pin drop and it stayed that way until the end.
