Just saw it on Instagram. Wish I had been there. We must start a campaign for her to do it again on closing night.

Oh how marvellous, she's such an old West End Wendy. Tits and teeth darling, tits and teeth. I like it that they're the same height too.
And Ashley Gay is so nice and tall as well.

I said a few pages back that they should find a way to get Bonnie tapping in the finale  She was fabulous! |

I mean, that really is an absolute dream! I so wish they'd keep that in as a finale - it's just brilliant.

That is absolutely brilliant - a wonderful idea, and Bonnie fits right in, what a talented woman! I really hope they keep this in the show permanently, or at the very least let her do it again on closing night. I can't imagine how breathtaking it must be to see in person.

I had imagined it happening, never thought it would though. So amazing! It gave me chills.
Praying we get a reprise at the final show now! 😍😍

I lost count of how many times I've watched that already. I just can't stop!

I lost count of how many times I've watched that already. I just can't stop! I was just thinking "am I the only one re-watching this at work under the desk when no one is looking"! |

Love it. Absolutely love it. Considering the loud, high-pitched noise I made watching that at home it's probably for the best that I wasn't there! Definitely need to do that again on closing night at the very least.

I've had several friends I know through theatre who have told me that video has convinced them to book for the closing night now. I get the vibe the atmosphere is going to be incredible.

I obviously haven't been paying attention and didn't realise Bonnie was on until closing night.
Can't wait now if they do this too! It's going to be very emotional I fear!

I was there on Tuesday for Bonnie & Clare's tap duet at the end and it was absolutely brilliant. I'm not that familiar with the show having only seen it once so I assumed that happened every night, so I feel very lucky now to have seen it. Bonnie is such a strong dancer and had the biggest smile on her face (as did I), she clearly loved it and the crowd did as well.

Well. Bonnie really is smashing. I still think Sheena sings it better but La Langford acts it out of the park, she's fabulously old school tits and teeth. And she looks sensational.
We didn't get Ashley Gay tonight, we got a little blond bombshell instead and he was terrific. He gets the hardest part of the '42nd Street' number I noticed, he has to do a big dance number then sing straight away before the big set piece on the stairs (which is still one of the most thrilling bits of theatre around). What a champ.
I also think that the real unsung hero of the show is actually Jasna Ivir. She'd be a terrific lead in a 'Call Me Madam' revival. I also never noticed that she has a really strong accent until tonight.
I also noticed that 'We're In The Money' is almost as thrilling as '42nd Street' as a big number too. It's amazing that they can keep up this standard for so long. Loved it once again.

That sounds like another epic performance. Happy to hear that since a friend of mine from Madrid was there last night too. She still hasn't told me what she thought about the show but I'm sure she loved it!

Wasn’t going to go again before closing night, but the in laws wanted to see this one more time so now going in October. Was taken by surprise by the friends and family offer, wasn’t expecting to get half price tickets. Brilliant!
