Fantastic show, average theatre
22 May 2017
Saw the Sunday matinee yesterday and have to say what a great show. Despite the audience being a pretty lacklustre bunch (often the case with Sunday shows), the performances from the cast were nothing short of brilliant. The adult cast were outstanding, but it was the kids that were a revelation. Their acting and singing was wonderful and their playing of the instruments was astonishing.
The show was up to the standard of similar shows in the West End like Matilda and Charlie and the chocolate factory. Less flamboyance and technical wizardry, but I don't think it's any less of a musical for that. The music was great and the songs were funny and clever, including a couple from the film.
The only slight letdown was the theatre. It may have been refurbished and renamed, but it still showed its 1970's "style" with tired design and queues for the small loos. The auditorium really benefitted from its nicely raked seeking, but if you were close to the stage and not sitting in the middle (both the stage and seating were curved) like we were, we often could not see the heart of the action as there were the kids school desks on the front of the stage, obstructing the view.
Saying all that, my sons birthday group left very happy, excited and singing along to the shows memorable songs. So a really big success and a show that I'd thoroughly recommend. It deserves a long run in the West End, so grab a ticket if you can. Just don't be tempted by a seat near the front if you can't get one that's fairly central.

Best show we've seen with our children, the child actors were better than all the others in Matilda; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; Lion King. The fact they play all their own instruments is incredible. We just wanted them to do an encore! The finale was just like being at a gig.

Wow! Those children were amazing. Better singers, better actors than some of the adults on the West End stage and their musicality was a joy to listen to and watch. Some stars of the future among them. Their 'Supply (Music) Teacher' was brilliant and worked his socks off. The hundreds of school children in the audience at our matinee performance were all on a high towards the end, all the way through really. There was a standing ovation from all the adults too. Don't miss it!

What a fantastic show! The actors were brilliant, so talented! I was in awe at the talent of all the cast. The dedication and hard work that they all put in just amazes me. The talent of the younger cast is outstanding and those that played the instruments blew me away!
I took my 14 year old Grandson and he text his Mum during the interval to tell her just how brilliant it was, He is asking to go again for his birthday and Christmas! Well done and thank you to all.

Brilliant experience overall. There were times when the instrumental music drowned the words and it was difficult to hear lyrics, particularly when Dewey Finn was singing. The children's performance was first class. I would see the show again.
There are bright strobe-type lights particularly in the finale which would have been troubling for some people, my husband was not able to attend for that reason, which is a shame. It would be better if the performance could be accessible to all.
