I hated this. The songs are shit and the best one - I Dreamed a Dream, the Susan Boyle one - is the fourth song in a three hour show. I saw the film thinking I might be wrong and hated that too and was glad to be proved right. Apparently it was a production of this that prompted Pet Shop Boys to write their own musical as they thought the songs were so bad, so at least something good came out of it.
