As soon as the date for Opening Night of the Susan Boyle Musical, 'I Dreamed A Dream' became known, Susan's fans from around the world began planning to be there. Even before it was
confirmed that Susan herself would make an appearance, many fans had signed up to go, eager to see this musical story of her life. Other fans, unable to make Opening Night, are booking
tickets for later in the tour.
Post from a fan: "I'm stunned at how many people have signed up for this already and are making travel plans, etc., after only 2 days." Quite aside from the actual show, 5 different
fan gathering opportunities are planned so fans can meet face to face over dinners, etc.
From as far away as Australia and Chile, across the United States, from many European countries, and of course from across the UK, Susan Boyle Fans have tickets bought, travel arrangements
made, hotels booked, and passports at the ready and many diets have been started!
Newcastle "is in the North east of England and stands on the River Tyne. It is a lovely, vibrant city, which has witnessed a Renaissance in recent years and the Geordie folk there are among the
warmest and friendliest folk in England" reports a fan who has been there. It has its own International Airport.
Another Fan post:"If we're this excited already, what are we going to be like nearer the time? Off the scale, I think! Can't wait to see everyone, and the Susical, too."
The 'Susical' Opening Night is March 27, 2012. "I am thrilled to be a part of the musical about my life story and very much looking forward to stepping on stage and performing with
the cast, said Susan Boyle. It is an honest portrayal of my life and has been a cathartic process to be involved in.
Susan will be portrayed by well known Scottish actress/singer
Elaine C. Smith.
Producer Michael Harrison (Chess) said to Gordon Barr of
'The Journal',"I can't quite believe that we have
managed to get the phenomenon that is Susan Boyle to come and do this musical but she is really behind it and weve had script meetings. To have her in the Theatre Royal up close and
personal, its quite unbelievable. The audiences will have just had two hours of her story and the bonus of then Susan walking out at the end. Having Susan join the cast to perform
the finalé of her musical is amazing for both ourselves and audiences across the UK and Ireland.
Opening Night:At the grandly renovated Theatre Royal in Newcastle.... March 27, 2012! How many people do you know who've had their life story turned into a stage muscial?!
