Hi gang, I know it's o/t,I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you.
Yesterday ( thurs) the wife surpised me with 2 tickets to see Jeff Waynes musical version of TWOTW.

I don't know if the show is touring overseas, but anyone who can get the chance to see the show please go it's fantastic.

The show is a cross with live action and some great animation and lighting effects.
The set designer was done by the same guy that designed Pink Floyds The Wall so you have an idea how well it was.
Justin Hayward was great as always singing Forever Autumn and due to 21st century technology even brought back to life a legendary actor who died 22yrs ago.
Well the show wouldn't be the same without Burton.
The highlight for me ( it still make me goosebumps )is the appereance of a Tri-Pod on the set.
The album itself was one of the first LP's I brought with my first weeks pay back in 79.
To me the book and the music are still classics.
Thanks for letting me share the experience
with you
Ian
