Lord of the Rings: The Musical (No Joke!)

[The Saucepan Man]

Read this review in The Times this morning.

Times Review

The reviewer gives it an impressive four stars and suggests that the dazzling spectacle and magical moments vastly outweigh the few weak points (the performances of Galadriel and Gandalf are noted as the main weak points).

With some fine tuning, this tale could hold its audience in total thrall. For now, its best moments are, like the ring, an intoxicating enchantment.

I was very sceptical about this project when it was first announced, but it is now most certainly on my list of things to see, when it comes to the West End next year.
