I'd had two days off work with a cold when I saw this so apologies to the people who I sat near and maybe gave a cold to. Perhaps post-Covid I might not do that now although as theatres remain resistant to exchanges of any kind perhaps not. This was probably the first time I'd seen Michael Ball and having associated him with endless Andrew Lloyd Webber things it was a good surprise. Maybe now The Crown is finished Imelda can do the Hello Dolly we were promised.
