    She was great, I saw the performance – a brilliant cast with every single singer on stage.

    Oddly enough, Shân Cothi tweeted a good luck message to Bryn Terfel on 10th December, saying: “Os ddigwyddith rywbeth i Mrs L just rho showt! Tynn dy rasel ore mas, Bryn bach!! xx cofion cynnes ato chi gyd!!”

    Translation: “If something happens to Mrs L[ovett] just give me a shout. Get out your best rasor, little Bryn!! xx warm wishes to you all!!”

    Cue Twilight Zone music!
