Remember them?
At this time of year, when we look to Eurovision with an Abraham-related sigh, what better way to spend a Thursday evening than in the company of pop greatness.
Spent this evening at the first West End Eurovision night- which featured the cast of 7 West End musicals, hence the late start of 11.30 (at my age on a schoolnight too!).
It was actually pretty good, a great warm-up for next week. My vote went to Mamma Mia's very Pans People-esque performance of "Ding-a-Dong", but the winners and crowd favourite was Wicked's "Ooh aah...".
Cheryl Baker was on the judging panel, along with Frances Ruffelle, who came cross as rather like Minnie Driver's character in Will & Grace, if that makes any sense...
Also the lady from Bardot, and the bloke behind Grease who was on the ITV show. Plus the whole theatre was full of cast and friends of the musicals involved... We could've been amongst West End Royalty. But it was really all about The Scooch for us.
