The Book Of Mormon - Palace Theatre Manchester - Theatre Vlog & Review Including Curtain Call

The Book Of Mormon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In this vlog I go to see The Book Of Mormon at the Palace Theatre Manchester, I went on Saturday 14th September 2024 and the show started at 7.30pm. The run time of the show is 2hr 30 minutes which includes a 20 minute interval. I was sat in the Stalls Row AA seat 16 and I paid £15 for my ticket. The view from this seat was Excellent. "The Book of Mormon" follows the journey of two young Mormon missionaries, Elder Kevin Price and Elder Arnold Cunningham, who are sent to a remote village in Uganda. Elder Price is ambitious and self-assured, while Elder Cunningham is socially awkward and given to embellishing stories. Upon arrival, they face the harsh realities of poverty, disease, and violence under the local warlord General Butt-Fucking Naked. Elder Price's attempts to convert the villagers through traditional methods fail, leading to a crisis of faith. Meanwhile, Elder Cunningham gains the villagers' interest by blending Mormon teachings with elements from sci-fi and fantasy, creating an unconventional but engaging narrative. Nabulungi, the hopeful daughter of the village chief, believes these teachings offer an escape to a better life. The villagers' new faith, despite its inaccuracies, brings them hope and a sense of community. When church leaders visit and witness the villagers' misinterpretations, chaos ensues. Ultimately, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham realise the true spirit of their mission—compassion and understanding—and the story concludes with a message of unity and resilience.

The Octagon Theatre's latest production of Brassed Off brings a much-loved modern classic back to the stage, celebrating the resilience of northern mining communities and the power of music. Based on the 1996 film, the play is set in the mid-1990s in the fictional town of Grimley, Yorkshire, where the local colliery faces closure At the heart of Brassed Off is the Grimley Colliery Band, led by the devoted bandmaster Danny. As the mine faces imminent closure, the band members are torn between accepting redundancy payments or fighting to save their jobs and their community. Danny, despite his own declining health, views competing in the National Brass Band Championships at the Royal Albert Hall as their last beacon of hope. Danny’s son Phil is caught between loyalty to his father and the crushing burden of his own circumstances. Struggling with mounting debt and a troubled family life, Phil faces a severe mental health crisis. Complicating matters further, Gloria, a former local now working as a surveyor for the coal board, returns to Grimley. Her job requires her to make tough decisions about the mine's future, putting her loyalty to the band and her rekindled romance with Andy—a band member who resents her association with the coal board—into conflict. As the band gears up for their pivotal London performance, each character grapples with their personal dilemmas and the future of their community. Brassed Off is a moving tribute to the strength of community and the power of music in difficult times.
