The Big Night of Musicals on BBC1

What a tribute to Meatloaf!

Just brilliant!

Wasn't it, callistemon and then The Drifters - the sound of my teens.

I'm watching it and I love Musicals, we often go to the West End BUT, all this is doing is making me know what I never want to see. My OH says it's helping us save money. Probably not what is the show's premise.

Really enjoying it. Missed the first part, was HAIR featured, my first ever musical, 1970.

I'm not sure as we were eating!

Kissing' in the Back Row of the Movies!
We saw the Drifters in Majorca (probably reconstituted!)

We're a bit behind as the Tesco shop arrived

Watched 10 minutes then switched off....

It was only current stuff, Kali.

We saw Hair on honeymoon!

I thought the earlier "finale" should have been the finale.

I didn't know much of it but enjoyed some of it

Made such an impression on me - the next one was very different 'Calcutta' ;)

and then another style of 'Musical' the Isle of Wight Festival!

The finale wasn't that impressive tonight- great singer, but just didn't have Tina's presence, or voice.

We also saw Calcutta, kali. A completely different different kettle of fish.

Indeedy! It was a good couple of years to live in London!

The finale wasn't that impressive tonight- great singer, but just didn't have Tina's presence, or voice.

It was ok but I don't know why they didn't have a finale like the earlier half-time ensemble.

I think we prefer the old musical, the classics.

Just texted DS to get DGD to watch it on Iplayer. She's going to theatre to see the Disney musicals, but the Dreamgirls, School of Rock, Tina bits I thought she'd just enjoy the energy and audience participation.

It was all a bit shouts screams for me turned off after ten minutes.

I love musicals so I thoroughly enjoyed it. For me, The Drifters were the best. Good movers and good voices.
I live in London but I have not seen a musical for ages- nobody I know enjoys watching them.

For me, The Drifters were the best

Yes, loved that!
Oh, that took me back ?

Does anyone else remember when they had double seats in the back row in the cinema?

Certainly not in my area of Scotland! To be honest I had no idea they had existed.

I must have led a dissolute past. Well, almost.
Ps it was just one boyfriend throughout my school years, but, alas, Dear Reader, I did not marry him.
He two-timed me.

Seen The Drifters several times - never the same line up. Just Googled and there are several lots of Drifters and almost 40 members over the years. Still a good night out though.
