I've not been to as many Embassy shows as my wife (because of my back problems), but this was the most animated audience I've been in at the Embassy Theatre so far and having an audience that's joining in and having a lot of fun makes it more enjoyable for you. Many in the audience acted like they were at a Michael Jackson concert. I hope the Bon Jovi Experience audience are similar (big Bon Jovi fan here :-)). David I had a lot of fun at the WHO’S BAD! show.

The owner of this forum has shown the price to send local kids to this skatepark is not cheap. I'm a single Skegness Mum and my two teenage boys are street skaters who use XSite once a week. My boys want to go more often but I cannt afford more. My kids are forced to skate the streets when theres the purpose built skatepark they would visit every day if I had the money. XSite has let local kids down.

The prices they had before of £4 for 4 hours was a perfect price, but X-site expanded to fast (within 3 years of first opening), building the outdoor plaza and pushed the costs onto the kids to a ridiculous £7 for 4 hours. That Skate park was meant to be for the kids in the community mainly, not competing with other attractions for tourists as a selling point to make money Then to discover X-Site is a registered charity adds insult to injury at that price per child! What's the point in having a Skate Park when you can't afford to use it regularly, every penny counts for families! There you go summed up all nice and simple for you.

At the end of the day it is in place as an aid to the community. It is easy to place these criticisms on here but what do you want? would you rather have nothing, or it seems as though people want it all for free. There is no pleasing some people, in fact i think that the skate park should send everyone in the local area a £1,000 check through the post once a month. Then u may be happy! fk it knock it down and build some more charity shops! I do not understand why people are critiquing the skatepark!

HE IS THE NICEST GUY IN HOLE CAST!! he rox!! seriously lol" It looks like the choir might have been local kids and don't travel permanently with the show, If it's the case these kids are local-ish then the ones at Skegness where miserable on the opening night. TERRIBLE!! Marie I’ve been on You Tube again and I was reading the comments under the video and found this:

I was born in Skegness and grew up there, there has always been a mixture of sex, alcohol, gambling and fighting, don't you remember the mods, rockers, hells angels, skinheads all coming to town. It never stopped people visiting with their children. And by the time kids in Skegness hit 13 they are already knowledgable about what goes on in the town etc. I think a lot of the responsibility should be for the parents to parent their kids, if being close to a gentlemans club is a problem then it's up to you as parents to keep your kids away. Skegness needs all the help it can get to keep it financially healthy with people willing to spend their money.

The lead is listed as a Tara Bethan (blond hair) and that wasn't her at the Embassy Theatre on the opening night. So she might have been Tara Bethan's understudy in Skegness?
