Made in Dagenham: 10th Anniversary Concert - Palladium

Don’t all rush at once.

This doesn't seem as much of an oddball choice as some others.

At least there's a reason (10th anniversary) and I actually liked it when it was at the Adelphi. There was this curious stretch of brand-new homegrown shows that all failed (Mrs Henderson Presents was another one I remember fondly).

I'd just like to know why they feel the need to use the biggest venues for this kind of thing, why not stick with something like Cadogan Hall or better yet, a venue the size of Cadogan Hall more centrally in the West End.

The one concert announcement I’m interested in, the show had plenty of fans such as me so I’m pleased it’s getting a 10 year anniversary!

Listening to the cast recording right now!

Interestingly, this is being produced by Sisco Entertainment - company of Simon Schofield and Scott Garnham (brilliant in the original cast).

The am dram group I used to be in did it about 5 and a half years ago now and it was the only time they had sold out every performance! Tbf Dagenham isn't a million miles away and at one performance we did have one of the women involved in the protest come to a performance.

It's a decent show and I enjoy it but a concert at the Palladium is baffling to me

Still waiting for my presale link. Did anyone receive theirs yet? Thanks x

This was actually heaps of fun at the Adelphi and it deserved better than it got at the time - Gemma Arterton was fabulous in it.

But I just don't know as I need to sit through Pixie Lott 😂

I saw the show for free from the back of the dress circle at the Adelphi (awful seats in my least favourite venue) and I remember very little. Gemma Arterton was predictably lovely, but I don’t remember any of the songs except the title number. And even then, I only remember there being some very forced rhymes (which I’ve surely built up in my mind to be worse than they actually are. I can’t remember the real ones so I like to make up my own. “Made in Dagenham, listening to Slade in Dagenham, I wish this show had stayed in Dagenham”).

At the time I thought it was basically a Cockney “Billy Elliott”. Sadly, I can’t stand Billy Elliott.

Ticket prices seem reasonable for this though.

And all the rhymes in the cortina song! "Cortiiinnaaaa, it's leaner and it's meaner"

I predict we'll all be able to get good tickets for a max of £20 nearer the time - don't book now 😂

Hi!

Has anyone received their e tickets for this yet? I’m wondering if I may have to pop by the box office as haven’t received anything.

Thanks.

Good job I know the words because you can't hear a thing anyone is saying...

Also enjoyed this at the adelphi, but this was Diana The Musical levels of bad tonight (and at least Diana is camp and fun)

Literally inaudible for a good 85% of it - had I not already known the words I'd have had basically no idea.

Obsessed that the pop star forgot how a microphone worked in the final number too..

Christ, this was...bad.

Oh dear. Who produced this one? I'm going to Wild About You and am considering Pippin too, are either of those the same producers?. I agree Side Show was fantastic.
