Gandalf had a northern English accent and I didn&#8217;t like it very much.  The dwarves were just men, they didn&#8217;t have any beards, and there weren&#8217;t 13 either, only about 5.<\/p>\n<p>All in all it was an enjoyable night out.  If you want any more info on it let me know.  I&#8217;ve got the programme still.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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<p>From: <b>Alex<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I caught the play here in Brisbane, I don&#8217;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<p>From: <b>Paul<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Just letting you know that I&#8217;ve been to see the Hobbit stage play in Blackpool, and it was superb.  Everything is there that you want &#8211; except maybe Gandalf was a little &#8220;timid&#8221; for my liking.  They make good use of a two tiered set for all the &#8220;scene transitions&#8221;.  The ending battle of the five armies was excellent &#8211; certainly put a chill down my spine!  (I&#8217;m easily scared!!!)<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend it; but there are only five dwarfs!!!
