My first viewing of this. The interesting thing about it is to see what the cast have gone on to do since, some more than others. My personal favourite is when I saw Assassins at the Menier Chocolate Factory and during the final number Jamie Parker pointed a gun in my face. Id like to see this again just to see how well it's aged - I can't help thinking Hector groping the boys would now be a bit problematic.
