I hope its ok to post this, I'm still a bit of a lurker but I have just got back from the West End where I saw 'Our House'and I need to go 'yay!'

As a big Madness fan, I have wanted to see this since it opened in October, and when it won the best new musical I knew it was something I had to really get time to see. So this week I finally had the opportunity, and as fate would have it, for this week only Suggs is appearing as Joe's Dad!

This is a great night out - especially if you love Madness's music - its an amazing performance, the leading guy must have the stamina of the worlds most fit man - there's only one song he's not involved in! The choreography is amazing, and the plot (by Tim Firth) is wonderfully worked to the songs - I would suspect that those not familiar with Madness's music would think the songs were written specifically for the musical!

Obviously having Suggs there did help give it the Madness sound, so that added to my enjoyment - he got a standing ovation at the end!

So in short I think I'm recommending this one to anyone who fancies a trip to the west end for a show - its at the Cambridge Theatre, the website is here www.ourhousethemusical.com
