We like Julie Atherton

And not just because she's usually found in Avenue Q and is a fellow Lancastrian, but because she is mad enough about her work to do something else in her summer hols whilst the puppet show transfers venues.

Two New York Musicals

It's unusual for me to be up for musicals, so get it whilst it's good.  Anyone for either of these - queenspanky I'm looking at you.

The Last Five Years is my fave musical and it had a three day preview which Jen and I saw a few months ago and we literally cried the entire way through like mad women.

So I'm so up for seeing that again! And also the other one, which I know nought about but as it has Julie in it, I'm sure I will love it. Jen will be up for both as well, let me tell her and make sure we pass over money before booking etc.

Yes, please, could do with a good musical right about now.

I am now an enormous JA fan. It was only after seeing some of the other regional casts doing Avenue Q that I realised she's not just great, but downright brilliant.

You went to the regions?

No, I watched a lot of Youtube :) Even the major American casts didn't do it for me.
