Hi Val--was not "Footloose" the song Aoife sang on Saturday on Maria--and got knocked out!!! All I know about the "Wizard "is , that it is loosley based on the Wizards in Wizard of Oz.!

How is your puppy doing--settling down., I hope.

Many of my co-workers have gone to see Wicked several times. They love it. I have heard the music. It's fine, but a bit too "broadway" for me. The composer is the guy who wrote Godspell, so there are large dramatic solos and choruses.

Hi Folks

Footloose was a real treat a bunch of youngsters singing and dancing and boy they cirtainly knew how to do it too, the only person i knew was Cheryl Baker think she was in Bucks Fizz many moons ago, looking forward to Wicked if people are going several times must be a good show.

Hi Marian Ginny is getting bigger by the day and into mischief pulled some of my curtains down yesterday and regularly brings half my garden in the house so right now she is in the dog house lol :lol: wouldnt be without her though.

Must thank that very young looking Robert :lol: for policing the board for us i'm with Marion on this one Wicked and Wizzard do look very similar :D

Yes, Cheryl Baker was with Bucks Fizz, earned a number One hit with Making Your Mind Up.
We' re booked in for a forthcoming production of "The Pirates Of Penzance" at the Wimbledon Theatre with the Carla Rosa Company. They have just completed the Merry Widow and The Mikado.
Not sure yet if we will book for "The Sound Of Music." depends who will perform the main roles. :?

Wicked and Wizzard do look familiar, but only if you haven't got your glasses on :wink: :wink:
