And 7th highest grossing film of the week which is pretty amazing considering it was only on for 2 days.

Nice to see it do pretty well, especially considering that the other films that beat it would have had lots more screenings and promotion. I only knew this was on at all from reading about it on here.
The Odeon's added screenings of it over the weekend and on Wednesday, which definitely weren't there when I was booking it the other day. Also spotted a screening at the little cinema in my local theatre next month so it should be around for a while yet. Hopefully that will increase the chance of a DVD/bluray.

Couldn't resist another visit to a screening yesterday - a packed house roared it's approval. They've done such a great job of it - I'm not wild about the on stage camera shots as sometimes they are just too close and you miss the whole body dancing, but it's a joy. The editing of the two performances is so slick, though watch the piano lids - they don't quite match between shots, but who cares. so let's try and ponder on what the plot of Pretty Lady is actually about?

Saw a screening of this yesterday. Never seen any version before and was absolutely blown away. Tremendous feel good old fashioned massively camp musical.
Bloody loved it.

And its just popped up on my Facebook that I was there a year ago today for the final performance of 42nd Street which will go to the grave with me as one of the best nights ever at the theatre and also the saddest, especially when the ushers almost had to physically throw the audience out as we just didn't seem to want to leave.

I’ve been getting the same today, but for Bat. What a sad day for musicals that was 🙁

Popped up on my facebook too. What an amazing night that was. Although the photo of me posing with the line of showgirls on the board outside the theatre is this months calendar picture in our house so the memory lives on!

I still keep seeing that they are doing more 42nd Street screenings, seem to be quite a few on the 12th. If there is a DVD it definitely won't be any time soon, got to make as much money as possible out of the screenings first.

Just seen on Ashey Day's Instagram that he is set to reprise the role of Billy Lawlor in a production of 42nd Street in Chicago with Norm Lewis playing Julian Marsh.

Last night I spent a wonderful evening watching this fabulous show. The film really does do it justice doesn’t it? I think I may well keep my subscription going, there’s loads to watch.

I second that. Maybe it's an age thing, but some of us like to physically own music, images and words!

I watched my umpteenth screening of this last night, and it is certainly a show that keeps giving. What a slick, exhilarating ride it is. For the company, it could never have been a show that you could ever give less that 100% to. And the organisation backstage must have been extraordinary. Oh the joy of that staircase after Julian's moment of drama in the dark. Thrilled to see this show again. In it's recent London run where the plans afoot for the building that it closed seemingly early, or just the sheer expense of keeping it going? So glad that this was filmed, even with the rather alarming on stage close ups.

So glad that this was filmed, even with the rather alarming on stage close ups. That's quite spooky as last night I was watching some YouTube clips of the London production and remembering the wonderful nights I had watching it. I went 11 times in total including the final night when I sat in the front row. I swear it was the most amazing and emotional night in the theatre ever. I remember at the end of the staircase number the whole audience got to their feet and I have been told there was a 14 minute standing ovation with most of the cast in tears. At the end of the show the producers, Linnet and Grade (who were sitting in one of the royal boxes) had their phones out filming the audience reaction. They must have been so proud of what they had achieved. No one wanted to leave at the end and the ushers had a hard job clearing the theatre. Also most of the front few rows were filled with forum members so it was great so meet so many. A few of the cast had posted clips of the last night on Instagram which were great to see, but I cant seem to find any of them on YouTube which is a shame as I would love to see some. I don't think London will ever see the likes of such a huge show ever again and I am just so happy I got to see it so many times.
