I went to see Blood Brothers in The Gaiety last night with my Mum. It's a terrific production, the place was packed with women of a certain age emoting heavily. By the time the story reached its climatic end the lady to my right was sniffing loudly and more or less sobbing! Anyway, it was great.
Appropriately enough Musicals are the Featured Artist on The Show this week and this morning, one thing led to another and we played musical tracks pretty much the whole way through. Most people loved it, there was the odd request for a little variety, but I reckon dedicating a few days to musicals IS variety on morning radio!!
