JMN: 23Dec17:
Disappointed. Saw the show on the 22nd (first show) and felt really let down. Whether it was first night nerves I'm unsure but it was lacking excitement and just felt flat. There was numerous issues with the sound, mikes dropping out, sound quality was quite muffled. The part of the show that got received the loudest applause when after 3 attempts one of the back drops fell into position after getting stuck on the part of the set. Not sure that I would be willing to pay that amount of money again to re-visit the theatre
