I just saw The Car Man for the first time last night and thought it was great. I'd never really fancied seeing a ballet before but I knew of Matthew Bourne and AMP and seeing the ads made me want to see it (as well as the good reviews).

It's not like a traditional ballet as the cast don't wear traditional ballet costumes and the show features sex, violence and a couple of full frontal naked men. The staging is very clever and even features a car race and crash.

I think it helped that I recognised quite a lot of the music (even though I've never seen Carmen on which the show is based).

Sorry to lower the tone but there were some rather sexy men in the cast (particularly James Leece, a fellow Scot, as Luca and Richard Winsor as Angelo although the several roles are alternated by other cast members). There is also a gay slant to the story which obviously wasn't part of the orignal Carmen.

So if you haven't seen this show before I highly recommend it. I'm going to see it again on Saturday and I'm going to buy the DVD of the show

I saw it the first time around. It's fantastic!

According to someone in another Forum the show is even better now. They reckoned the second act wasn't as strong as the first when they originally saw it but now it's a lot better.

I've got my ticket to see it again tomorrow.

I know I'm just talking to myself here but it was just as good the second time around.
