No worries:) Albert's a great part - the male lead and some great songs! It's such a fun musical I hope you enjoy it!!! I suggest NOT watching the movie before you do the show tho!

There are 2 versions - the Dick Van Dyke version which unfortunately is not very close to stage show at all (as they usually do with movies) it finishes at the end of Act 1, altho they do manage to sneak in a scene from Act 2, but most of the songs are in it, except 'Kids' is sung by Mae Peterson instead of Mr & Mrs McAfee. And the second version has Jason Alexander and Vanessa Williams - this is exactly the same as the stage show however I felt it was a lame/overdone version!

I definatley recommend watching them afterwards tho out of interest, particularly the Dick Van Dyke version as the cast is fabulous:)
