Anyone know the story on audience tickets?

I'm almost sure applications are now closed for tickets. They were available a couple of months ago on the Shinawil site.

I also watched the first "Can't Stop Dancing" and was cautiously optimistic.

Great to see Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova are involved.

Darren and Lilia were popular on SCD. Going to watch this tonight.

Didn't even know that pre-show was on till I saw it mentioned here.... just catching up online now.

Gawd, Darren Bennett is ageing well!!!

Autosport

So far so good

HeidiHeidi

Oh lord.....

Don't know what to think!

The set for it in Ardmore is tiny. RTE don't have a big orchestra behind the dancers like the BBC's SCD.

HeidiHeidi

Is Aoibhinn Garrihy Claire Byrne's long lost twin sister? I keep thinking it's CB!

And who's that guy Hugh(ie?) - couldn't understand a word he said in the preview show!

Amanda would want to go easy on the fake tan :eek:

Oh God what is it about irish celebs that just make you cringe, I'm trying to be open minded about it but jesus it's watching through the hands stuff

Amanda Byram presenting as if she has the Eurovision gig.

eviltwin

Pleasantly surprised the set doesn't look crap.

The Talking Bread

Far too ingenuine with your enthusiasm Amanda.

eviltwin

Your man in gold really going for the Bruno role

Was just thinking exactly this!

Nikki byrne talks the exact same as the judge Julian.

The Talking Bread

Its wierd without the Cliché camp judge....

Herself was expecting Marty Whelan to be hosting. I'd have been happy with that vs this pair as someone else said it's like they are hosting the Eurovision

Amanda Byram sounds like she is constantly warming up her voice 'how now brown cow'

laugh

The bird in Blue is gorgeous.

The Talking Bread

It's good so far to be fair. Hard to get a tried and tested show that bad.........oh wait...RTE

Autosport

I'm liking Amanda.

I like Nicky Byrne! I think he comes across as very natural.

Amanda, on the other hand.....

eviltwin

The stage looks really empty without a band

Lisha

Jaysys looking at Amanda Bryam I assumed all the fake tan was gone after her, but then I saw The fellas .

CFlat

So where are the red chairs?

HeidiHeidi

Oh jaysus, they weren't long shoehorning the promo in :mad:

Hope this isn't going to be 50% ads ads and that competition.
