thank you for drawing our attention to it, Ramsey! So sad our much-missed friend Bob 'The Duke' Rothwell didn't live to see the show, he'd have been in his element.

It does evoke horror! Or, to be precise, a strong feeling of embarrassment somewhat akin to horror.

National treasure Bernadette. "Terrified." Singer Spooked by 'devil' haunting Wheatley Show by Daily Post correspondent. A Nolan sister starring in a stage show about Devil-Worship is being spooked by a real life demon.
Bernadette Nolan - a singer in the family group which shot to fame with the hit single I'm in the Mood for Dancing - says she is "terrified" by the mystery ghoul haunting the show.
Since opening, the musical adaptation of the Dennis Wheatley occult thriller, The Devil Rides Out, has been blighted by.
A backstage smoke-machine starting up without being plugged in.
Lightening equipment switching itself on without electricity.
Fire doors swinging open and slamming shut.
Producer Colin McCourt said yesterday: "The cast and the crew have had experiences they cannot explain.
"One technician was alone in the theatre at night when the smoke machine started up after the power was switched off.
"The next night doors started opening and banging shut on their own. It has really scared people." The musical features scenes of Satanism - including one where the Bible is torn apart and the pages spat upon.
Said Bernadette: "I was a bit worried about the musical in the first place because of the Devil Worship involved, and some of the 'happenings' have been quite terrifying."found on Eximus Paranormal's blog

I forgot to mention that we've seen the entire musical. Twice.

Ramsey, you've taken two for the team. Your contributions to the genre knows no bounds!! Question: Why twice?

in the name of all that's sacred - twice! i'm surprised you're still alive to tell the tale. Bernie: Princess of all our hearts. Colin McCourt, the creator of the musical, said: “The original production at the Neptune Theatre in Liverpool, which starred Bernie Nolan, was plagued with weird events that nobody could explain.
“The stage crew even threatened to walk out at one point."Mystery surrounds ghostly appearance during play. Read the full story at Wirral News Online

We saw an early production in New Brighton, where the Angel of Death was the head of a pantomime horse that poked out of a painting on the wall. At the most recent production the devil resembled a large red hamster with horns.

There was a stage production of Wheatly in the 90? No wonder I never go to the theatre; the most interesting play I missed was an amateur production of Dracula.

I looked at the heading here and got the wrong end of the stick. My brittle mind somehow thought of the wrong Dennis, the ''Write the feem toon, sing the feem toon'' one, and not the Dennis who wrote some damn fine tales and who sat well to the right of Thatcher and Hitler. Sorry for completely wasting everybody's time.
