This was, I think, the second of the three times I've seen this and the only time I've seen it outside London. Touring productions of gay stuff can be a bit tricky and are either unsupported or turn into a hen night (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was a horror), so I remember being apprehensive abut this. Partly too because I didn't know if John Partridge would be any good but he was. This might end up quietly becoming one of my favourite musicals.
