You might be better going to the last perfomances, more fans there, etc. GOing now will be cheaper because the exchange rates, but don't wait to long to decide. Theres a lot to do in London.

I'm back alive after traveling 5000 thosand miles to London and back. The play was wonderful. I didn't get to meet the cast, but positively speaking the play was wonderful. And I had a chance to see some the Irish country side, the farms etc in Ireland. Wonderful visit altogether... it was kinda sad at the end of the play knowing it would be a while until I could see Ireland or any of the Corrs again in person.
Seats where M15 box seats and A26 second level. Andrea was set to look in my direction most of the time. She did a wonderful job both nights, didn't seem to have a problem. And the cast worked hand in glove, seems like they had inside jokes. And the audience reacted so well. Well worth the journey if you can make it in May.
The Irish castles (Dublin Castle and the London Tower) and green hilly travels (Wicklow Town) to corzy little towns (London and the old Vic.)

Lucky sonova............ you got to travel overseas and see the play!? You must be independently wealthy or have a good vacation package at work! Sigh, some day I'll feel lucky to just leave Ohio. Seriously though, good for you.

No, not rich - just saved up the money, over the last few years. I used all my vacation so its back to work for me for the rest of the year. Never will I have this chance again.
If anyone has any questions I'd be glad to answer them. There are some spoilers here, so I hope you don't mind me chatting.
The play is about two and half hours. The stage is very tight, so the actors use every inch. Jo Stone-Fewings picks up Andrea at one point and carries her right near the front row. And another time He climbs a tree they have attached to the right wall of the playhouse. Hes about 15 ft in the air doing shoulder presses on the limbs. Jo's acting was very entertaining, as they all were.
Anna Mackmin was very creative with the way she set up the play. Amazing how much you can miss reading until you actually see the play. Interesting that they had an invisible boy for Micheal. The actors talk to a kite or the table, and Peter McDonald, Micheal will speak as if its him.
As I know many people like Boys and Girl from County Clare. Well Andrea does a scene similiar to the one where their by the marsh. Its were Chris and Gerry are dancing out near the garden.
I don't know how they do it. The actors go through such a wide range of emotions. And there is no hesitation. And if anyone made any errors, I could n't tell. Andrea really took this play serious, and this time she's proving shes got the stuff for acting. Though I would rather see her singing on stage, but this is fine. It was a play about Ireland and I had just come from the Isle after living a week at my own residence.

Sounds like you had fun-I'm jealous,lol. It's amazing how much fans will do for the Corrs. I hope to go to Ireland in june to see Sharon perform if she indeed does tour. Thx Joseph for filling us in!

No, I'm jealous of fans who got to see them in concert. I have never been to a Corrs concert, I couldn't because of school, lack of money, and driving a motorcycle. So I envy those that could. This trip just makes my experience unique. Maybe one day, I'll get to meet the whole family. Just have to wait, thats all.
I thought that seeing the play kinda gave life to the Corrs music we've heard all these years. The play is about life, love, change and family. All these things are in the Corrs music. Andrea was living the music she sang all those years. Despite what I said earlier it is unlike any other acting she has ever done. The one night was really special, something I can go on with in my mind..
When I ranaway to Ireland, I stayed in Glendalough where they shot the video. Saw the trains ands and other areas, like the ruins were Andrea is floating around. Walking on the nearby mountains left me breathless. Everytime I saw some young lady on the trail or on the streets, it was like seeing Andrea when she was about 20. I kept that in my mind the whole time. And there were so many schools having field trips, so I kept wondering did the Corrs ever go here and walk the paths together askids. Keep singing So Young all time, especially on the last day overlooking a 200 meter waterfall. Its as if time reversed 15 years.
Music with me: The Best of Corrs Album (almost left it), Remember, Only When I Sleep, Would You Be Happier, So Young, Runaway, Breathless, Radio, What Can I Do, The Right Time, I Never Loved You Anyway, Irresistable, Forgiven Not Forgotten, Lough Erin Shore, Love To Love You, All The Love In the World, Give Me A Reason, Make You Mine, Lifting Me, No Good For Me, I Know My Love, Miracle, Head In the Air,
