I'm a big fan of the band The Divine Comedy so Neil Hannon was the appeal here. A few years ago his demo versions of the songs were released as a bonus disc with an album so I'm more familiar with them than I might have been otherwise. What I remember of it is going with a friend who was also a fan, who took their youngest child who perhaps wasn't. We went to a matinee and I don't remember there being a big audience. I remember the cast pretending to row boats and one of them (Stewart Wright) was a handsome beardy.
