Yo Bob! I saw it too - it was at the Donmar Warehouse.

I remember at the end of the show the cast asked if there were any people from Accy in the audience and about half a dozen hands went up.

You never know - we could have been there the same night.

I also saw an excellent version back in the early '90's at a theatre in Whitechapel, although the Accy accent was awful, as you could imagine.
