Just watched "Sydney" for the first time in a long time. It just reminded me how much I loved this Musical.

[@letmeentertainyou_]

ohhh me too!! I saw this musical 4 times, the original world premiere and the Australian touring production (that this number is from). You're not alone, this is one of my favourites and have rewatched too :)

[@maimai_-tl6jr]

YES! I loved this musical so much! (I cried so much in SOS though)

[@letmeentertainyou_]

me too. Yeah SOS was so beautiful and heartbreaking

[@claireew5913]

I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times...

[@MicksA]

Claire EW omg me too, I’ve watched the musical twice, and watch the videos constantly. It’s disturbing but addictive.

[@letmeentertainyou_]

@@MicksA It's the best isn't it?! saw the musical 3 times and want more!!

[@naimafurness7920]

Claire EW me too

[@kensington25]

I saw the musical last month and I loved it. One of my favourite songs from it :)

[@letmeentertainyou_]

I'm so glad you finally got to see it William! the song and the Sydney reveal is amazing isn't it? and love the reprise at the bows

[@kensington25]

Let Me Entertain You - LMEYpodcast It is just so beautiful isn’t it :)

[@letmeentertainyou_]

@@kensington25 saw it 3 times and it's still not enough! Love this musical!!!

[@kensington25]

Let Me Entertain You - LMEYpodcast It’s amazing. I hope they take it to the West End or Broadway. They loved Priscilla. I think it would work well overseas. Lots of universal themes :)

[@letmeentertainyou_]

@@kensington25 So many of my English friends were considering booking flights to Sydney just to see this musical. I agree, West End audiences will LOVE it. It will. It has to. Then Broadway! (PS: Did you know James Corden flew from LA to Sydney to see it?)

[@MrTaylor1964]

Great feel good sad show, well done to all. So Sydney!

[@letmeentertainyou_]

isn't it? I laughed and I cried. A brilliant production :)

[@chocolatesouljah]

This vibes as "Good Morning Baltimore" a la Sydney? Love it! Never heard of this show before, will look into. Cheers from California. 🙌🏾🌻🎶

[@letmeentertainyou_]

hi there!! thanks for the message 😀This is 'Muriel's Wedding the musical', based on the 1994 film 'Muriel's Wedding' that starred a young Toni Collette (Muriel) and Rachel Griffiths (Rhonda). This is the musical's official Australian tour starring Natalie Abbott (Muriel) and Stefanie Jones (Rhonda). I believe there was talk this musical would make a US debut, we keep our fingers crossed as it really is a great musical. xx

[@chocolatesouljah]

@@letmeentertainyou_ Hi Yes, I refer to Ms. Colltte as "Dame Toni" The movie was well received in the USA making her a star over here. Thanks for the credits on the actor and the buzz that it might deubut here. I'll be on the lookout.

[@idkok3561]

Hope it comes to Broadway

[@letmeentertainyou_]

It will be!!! just don’t know when; what I know is just before covid there were ‘meetings’ and then everything had to close, so I think 2022/3? wait to see what shows come back and available theatres etc, saw it 5 times it truly is so good x

[@Banjo_Tails]

Opening in the uk next year

[@richardjohnson9593]

Go see it - Go see it ... Ohh and go see it

[@awalker728]

Are there abba songs in this show? It would be pointless without

[@maimai-xc6wu]

They sing waterloo and SOS

[@letmeentertainyou_]

yes there are 5 ABBA songs in the musical and cast members play Agnetha, Ann-Frid, Björn and Benny! their scenes in the musical are incredible!

[@suave-rider]

@@letmeentertainyou_ Quite derivative of Priscilla The Musical to have the same Harbour Bridge, and singers above the cast. Needed more originality
