Seriously?

Susan Boyle 'I Dreamed A Dream'- not only have the writers/producers/directors stolen the title of a very famous song in Les Mis they have also bought the musical genre to a new level. It follows Susan Boyle's life story from her difficult childhood to her life changing Britain's Got Talent audition and her life after the show. Elaine C Smith plays Susan Boyle throughout the length of the show however, Boyle herself comes on for an enc-our at the end of the show and sings two songs. I feel that this musical is just an excuse to rapture Susan Boyle with more media coverage and for her to get more money. Even though the critics have loved it I cannot see myself taking this musical seriously. They may as well make a musical about Mary Byrne from the XFactor, someone who isn't necessarily a typical looking pop star but has used this to become famous.
