Quite a few tweets from people who have seen it, all positive.

Have there already been any reviews?

I also miss "you can't eat the scenary", maybe it has another name or has been dropped from the musical.

Lone star state was one of those titles in iswc-net that I didn't know from where it came from, I thought that it had something to do with local hero as it had an alternative title mentioning Viktor but I never suspected it was from the musical!

According to Wikipedia (thanks Val) it comes from the programme.

There are other titles missing from what we knew, I recall about something like "love song" "a cheekie wee pint" and others...

They couldn't digest the lyrics.
