Shining programme! There's actually a second one inside it with the writing on and it's all a bit of a waste of paper really. I saw the film this is based on and enjoyed it but never saw it again. I knew Alexandra Burke but had no experience of her. I wasn't certain I would enjoy this when I went but I ended up loving it mostly because Alexandra can really sing and absolutely did Whitney justice, and it was nice to be reminded just how good the songs were in the first place.
