So, on the 1st June I was lucky enough to see "Alien On Stage" at Leicester Square - http://www.alienonstage.com/ It was, to put it mildly, pretty damn awesome. Hilarious while still being faithful to the film. And impressive special/creature effects, especially considering it started as an am-dram production. At the end, it got a standing ovation from the capacity audience. After the show, they had a rather fun after-party and I got talking to a load of the people involved. It seems their creature effects guy who made their Alien suit, 'hugger and 'burster was a big fan of an Alien that wears a red dog collar... ![]() Anyway, the director has got in touch with me asking if I could do some evangelism and a quick survey. It now looks likely that the show will be returning to the Leicester Sq theatre for a 3 show weekend run, possibly in June 2014. I'd imagine they have some plans to polish every aspect of the show so it's even better. However, they would need to charge £20 per ticket to break-even. I think it's worth it, but would you pay £20 to see Alien at the West End? |

The only reason I didn't go last time was I couldn't get the time off. I'd love to go. Hell, i'd love to see them attempt the little known sequel..... |

I'd go if you boys were going for sure. Beth nearly bought me tickets for it originally as a surprise then saw a less then favourable review, and thought better of it. If you say its fun, then I'd come along, beers afterwards of course too ![]() |

Bargain! Would love to do a group outing, and I can think of a few more people who may be interested. |

Absolutely! An interesting thing I found out at the afterparty in London: the version in Dorset started off deadly serious, played straight. With hindsight, some would say that was a touch ambitious with almost no budget and a mix of actors and non-actors. So, without making many changes to the script, it became the slightly humorous version that was seen in London. It walks a good line - without spoiling it, there are a couple of scares, good character stuff and a touch of pantomime going on. The biggest negative I could say about it is that they had no Jonesy! I wonder ... does anyone know a very well-behaved ginger tom who would be willing to take part? Clanger?? ![]() |

As Fireball said - I nearly bought tickets before I'd heard about UKCM and was gutted once I saw that you guys had been and really enjoyed it! Also love supporting Leicester Sq Theatre, so definitely there if they do a re-run! |
