brilliant Merry Widow dress at @Opera_North today, extremely funny but also very touching. Superb performance from @maireflavin ?

Thoroughly enjoyed #ONMerryWidow tonight. Slightly allergic to waltzes and not a big fan of translations into English. But I’ve seldom heard more effortless laughter from a @GrandTheatreLS1 crowd. Others can ask why. Go see!
