I enjoyed it quite a bit more this time. Perhaps the difference is
that last night I was in the front row whereas last time I was half
way back, and the show feels far more energetic from close up.

I still think the show would have been better had they not attempted
to recreate a previous production, and the Pharaoh section still goes
on for far longer than I like. Pharaoh's a minor character: his sole
function is to pull Joseph out of jail and put him in a position of
power, and after about five minutes I was bored with it.

But on the whole it was a success.

Any Dream Will Do third-placer Lewis Bradley was in the audience. He
managed to get away with being unnoticed until near the end of the
interval, when word started to get round and half the audience was on
its feet and pointing. People were wandering over to get autographs
even after the cast had started to assemble on stage. Poor guy only
wanted a quiet evening at the theatre. (The family next to me weren't
impressed. "If he'd won we wouldn't have bought tickets.")

No idea who she is. They all move around too much so I don't know
which one you meant.
