I looked for 12 seconds and couldnae see another thread, life's too short and
PH cant be fked initiating a decent search facility, more concerned with banishing
newbies from NPE it seems.

Anyhoo

Anyone going ?

the poor luvs need 140 million squids to recover the outlay
although I suspect the royalties for Waterloo alone make 'em a few million a year so
no need to worry that Benny may have to work in a 24 hour filling station to make his ends meet.

Bit of footage which may get pulled by the copyright holder before anyone sees it...

I don't really get it myself... paying to sit in an arena and watch some CGI with backing music. If there were some local shows I might pay cinema prices to see it, but I wouldn't pay live concert rates. Enough others will though.

I saw on the tv today that they are planning on running the show for up to 5 years. Hopefully recoup the outlay by then.

You seem quite cross. About a few things.

Get a pair of tickets for you and a friend. Take it from me, it's fantastic.

What’s the source for the music for thee shoes? The link to Dancing Queen appears to be a (presumably historic) live recording judging form the end of the song.
