I thought the production was fantastic. Initially l wasn’t sure about the leading lady as l had a picture in my mind of the actress who was in the film, but l very soon realised how good she was and loved all the cast. Very glad l booked a ticket..
Excellent production, Word perfect, Singing outstanding, Scenery very clever, A very good venue
Thoroughly enjoyed this show. The acting, singing, movement direction and choreography we're all amazing. I haven't seen this show in a very long while and this time viewed with a more mature understanding gave it a completely new meaning.
Everyone left the performance with a smile on their faces. The heyday of the American musical. Many thanks to the cast. It was a really worthwhile trip down from East Anglia to see the show.
Absolutely fantastic show
I enjoyed the show, great story but stretched scenes/ repeated in some parts. Seats were very tight in the theatre
What a cast, what a seamless show, what a set, what a great musical.
I had only ever seen the film before but the show was so much better. What a cast! I was moved to tears with such wonderful singing and acting. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I wish I could see it over and over again.
Brilliant cast
Wonderful!
Just briliant
We really enjoyed the matinee performance. We had forgotten how many of those songs that at we know are all from the show. It was a lovely afternoon.
