The main reason for seeing this would have been Ewan McGregor who has only been back on stage in this country once since (Othello, the following year). I can't imagine he'll feel the need to do anything any time soon. But now I wonder if Jane Krakowski wasn't a bigger deal - she's big on Broadway but this might have been the first time she performed in something big here.
There's a hugely successful production of this at the Bridge Theatre at the moment which I really should see but I tend to think of the slightly unlikeable Frank Sinatra film first and it puts me off. This might well be the only time I've been to the Piccadilly Theatre.
