Tell Me On A Sunday officially opened at the St James Theatre last night (8th Jan) with Cameron Mackintosh, Don Black, Claire Sweeney, Anneka Rice, Lesley Ash, Robert Mackintosh and Penny Smith among those in attendance. Take a look at pictures below (click on an image to enlarge).

Tell Me On a Sunday tells the story of an English girl newly arrived in New York. Brimming with optimism, she sets out to find success, companionship and love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations and heartaches she begins to wonder whether – in fact – she’s been looking for love in all the wrong places.

I had to look more than twice at the email inviting me to review 'Tell me on a Sunday' with the original star Marti Webb: Had they cloned Marti Webb twenty five years ago and matured the new Webb expressly for the purpose of playing the role in 2014? Would the script be rewritten so lead character 'the girl' no longer writes to her octogenarian-by-now mum but some younger relative? All these questions and more swirled around my mind as I took my seat at the shiny new St. James' theatre in Victoria, now in its second year.
