Fantastic night at the show. Last saw Mika at the Birmingham show 14 years ago, so we were pleased to see him advertised locally again!
Was pleasantly surprised by the venue - but mainly by the front of stage staff - really attentive, ensuring everyone was hydrated etc.
Doubt they are on here, but wished I'd have had chance to say how fantastic the two ladies with the chap in the wheelchair on the rail were. They clearly did their very best to ensure he had a fantastic time and it was lovely to see!
As for mika - well...The joy he has on his face throughout the show is a beautiful thing to witness.
Me & my dad both felt this show was on a completely different level to the last Birmingham show - with props and backing singers etc Mika creates the most amazing show - almost like a theatre show. But last night was so much more personal and somehow intimate. Without props to deal with, the stage was purely the wonderful band, and 100% Mika energy and joy.
However - Only negative of the night was pre-mika really - no communication about the delays happening or why and the DJ warm up didn't seem to have quite read the room in regards to what music to play. This was shown by being able to hear people loudly talking over all the songs she played (except for the moment ABBA came on, when the entire room sang along!). You could tell the crowd in 'hell' were becoming antsy as by thr time Mika came on at around 8.50, a lot of us had been standing round for 3hours + .
Either way I got some great photos and videos and me & my dad had a great evening! Attached one of my favourite photos 😀 .
