It’s so wonderful to see this, it takes me back 20 years. I still listen to the soundtrack now. Adored this show! Chris Lowe was in the audience that night and in the actors bar afterwards, but I was too starstruck to talk to him. It was astoundingly good.
i saw the original production in september 2001, just before 9/11. i was mesmerized. it's like the best parts of cabaret and la boheme rolled into one and set to a disco beat. thanks for posting.
@Denniscanright omg...when???? would DIE to see this show! ...have been listening to a bootleg cd in my car for since 2006! haha lame i know...but i would seriously love to see this show! what month?? hopefully it hasn't come and gone already :0/
I experienced the opening night here in Dallas last night. It was brilliant! I am a huge PetHead. The whole production is spectacular, with massive kudo's to Morgana Shaw and Evan Fuller as Billie Trix and Straight Dave! The entire troup put every part of themselves into it to create a very special performance.
I will never forget the night that I saw this show. The energy was electric. Those dance boys almost too sexy to bear. Hundreds of guys in the audience cruising each other. The heart-breaking love story. People getting up to dance. Huge crowds waiting outside the stage entrance after the show to cheer the actors and d>Iancers. The gayest night I had ever experienced in London. It was like coming home. I went around with a smile on my face for days after that.THANKS for taking me back...
Saw this show a few times including the special Midnight performance - it was addictive! Great energy and performances by all, Paul Keating especially as "Straight Dave'. This SHOULD have been filmed professionally, but so wonderful to be able to relive the opening number like this anyway. Louis Spence (Pineapple Studios) was in this! Loved the choreography!

... The silhouettes of the audience gave me an affectionate chuckle. Many Thanks for this. A friend in the UK kindly sent me the OWEP CD before it was available here in the States, and it's one of my favourites.
