What does Previews week mean? Will she be performing in Glasgow in front of an audience?
The musical opens on 9th November but official opening night isn’t until Tuesday 19th November. So she’s in Glasgow the first week it’s open to the public but the band probably won’t make a public appearance at the show until said Gala night.
Updated to state Faye won't be at the 19th November Performance of 101 Dalmatians

Not the "ps it ain't signed soz" at the end. For that price it should be.
I haven't gone back to the Hacienda mix since they added it on Spotify
It's probably rarer to have a Steps item not signed these days to be fair...
but that PS looks like they're being dicks when really they're just covering themselves because the vinyl is signed in the video and makes a point of showing it is.

Listening to Heartbeat 25 and it really is just so gorgeous. You can hear all of them individually on the chorus, depending who you're listening for, and its just genuinely, absolutely stunning. For a band who weren't known for their vocals back then they smashed the backdoors out of this.
I’m so glad that in 2017-present they really have been able to display their vocal talents. The radio 2 piano room showed exactly how capable they are and it’s nice to see sone of the sneers from media admitting they were wrong in the past. Side note last thing on my mind played on radio 2 when I was at work earlier. God it’s such a great summer song.
The Girls Aloud, The Saturdays and Steps megamix videos are quite similar in terms of aeshtetics in the best ways, it's like a mini multiverse.
All made by the same person
Haha how wierd is that! This has been my playlist mix for the last few days!
It literally is a brilliant 30 minute mix to pound the pavements too!
As much as I love The Alias, I am so ready for a brand new chapter with Steps working with the other producers leading up to 2027 album campaign.
Unpopular opinion, but I really do not mind them going back to Uncle Pete. My partner is a new fan and much prefers the O.G. stuff like "Love's Got A Hold On My Heart" and "Better Best Forgotten".

They use The Alias largely because of cost, corporate synergy and creative control. The Alias are managed by Fascination too so everything is in-house and affordable with the band/Fascination being able to have complete control over the sound rather than handing that over to producers. They're already getting songs from a range of writers and producers but The Alias are fleshing the demos out and trying to meet the expectations of what Steps fans want their songs to sound like. If Xenomania had produced To the Beat of My Heart, it would sound like a Xenomania track rather than a Steps track. They gave it to Steve Smith rather than The Alias to produce, so there must have been conversations about who could turn it into the track they wanted it to be. Sia's What the Future Holds demo, produced by Greg Kurstin, isn't massively different to the final product by The Alias.
One of the last things Pete Waterman produced was the UK's 2010 Eurovision entry, which was met largely with ridicule and cringing over how dated it sounded. The man is 77, retired, and it isn't the 80s/90s anymore. They're using the Alias to hit a balance between nostalgia and contemporary, which has been well-received so far. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. They'd be better off trying to do some collabs rather than ditching The Alias completely.
