Reviews from ‘The Hobbit’ stageplay have been flowing in:<\/p>\n

I went and saw this production when it was in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
It was quite good, they made really good use of the stage with scenery.<\/p>\n
The bloke who played Bilbo was quite good. Gandalf had a northern English accent and I didn’t like it very much. The dwarves were just men, they didn’t have any beards, and there weren’t 13 either, only about 5.<\/p>\n
All in all it was an enjoyable night out. If you want any more info on it let me know. I’ve got the programme still.<\/p>\n
There was an article in the paper over here that they are recruiting over here for stuntmen who can ride horses for LOTR. Apparently the trouble in E Timor has meant they couldn’t use riders from the NZ army. I meant to scan the article and send it to you but I left the paper on the train.<\/i><\/p>\n

I caught the play here in Brisbane, I don’t know if it will be the same cast, but it was brilliant, even from way back on the second balcony. Well worth gettting in early for this one.<\/p>\n

Just letting you know that I’ve been to see the Hobbit stage play in Blackpool, and it was superb. Everything is there that you want – except maybe Gandalf was a little “timid” for my liking. They make good use of a two tiered set for all the “scene transitions”. The ending battle of the five armies was excellent – certainly put a chill down my spine! (I’m easily scared!!!)<\/p>\n
I would recommend it; but there are only five dwarfs!!! Never mind – you can’t have everything I suppose.<\/i><\/p>\n
