Love Mark's scarf here.  Obviously bought in one of the cashmere shops along the Royal Mile! I have an almost identical one myself.  ;D

Brings back nice memories and sad that people are having to miss out on the London shows.  Sad times.

I'm so glad that we went to the Edinburgh show, which we enjoyed very much.  It was great to meet up with such lovely friends and Edinburgh looked at its best in the beautiful spring sunshine.   Sorry that we and others will miss the London show in July, but fingers crossed for next year, maybe.   :)

I'm very happy that I went to Edinburgh too and enjoyed the musical, and also spent the day with Dmg and realised how bad my English was, shame on me!

Thank yooouuuuu!   Lovely picture!

I think MK has had some work done on his teeth - he used to have quite a big gap at the front which I found quite endearing!

Yes most defiantly.
Funnily enough I was watching the Golden Heart documentary from 1996 last evening and noted the two front teeth with the gap. He could do with some toothpaste though!!!! :lol

Wonderful pics!!  And an absolute wonderful performance. 

I took several photos, unaware that that was not allowed.  :o I was kindly made aware during intermission.   :'( :-*

The other day I was alone at home and I thought that it's been a while since last time I watched the movie, and I realised I never saw it in English, so I took my dvd copy of it, selected the English language and subtitles, and what a great enjoyable film this is.

I should had watched it this way before I went to Edinburgh for the musical, but I didn't find time to do it, I would had enjoyed it more, as some little details that happened in the musical are featured in the film, but as I always watched it in Spanish, I never noticed that details.

If any of you never saw the film in English (obviously I'm talking to not native English speaking people, lol), do it, you won't regret.

LH is really, very good isn't it! Glad you got to experience it in English....MKs music certainly empowers the beautiful scenery and story too...

It's good news in a way, as I understand the pub is still in danger.

Dunno if it was posted here, but it's a nice cover of this song.

Sadly for people who attended the show, this song is the only being played by anyone doing covers despite other songs being so great, because "rocks and water" was officially shared when they had to cancel the London Old Vic shows because of COVID, as a compensation, and the rest of songs remain hidden in an audience recording circulating just between fans...
