The first song of this, with miners and a brass band if my memory serves me correctly, made me cry and I never recovered for it. It was a brilliant show and now I'm cross with myself for not making the effort to see it again while it was still on - I assume these things will be there forever and should make more effort to really appreciate the good stuff. I'd love it to tour but I imagine that's almost impossible with children in the leading roles.
