Great venue even in the back row. The story line, acting and singing were excellent. The lighting effects were well designed and responsive to the story line and provided an immersive feel into the life and times of Monet. Well done.

Plenty of energy in this show and the subject - fundamentally Monet's relationship with his wife Camille - an interesting one. The spoken parts of the show went well, and the set a clever and effective design for a smallish stage, with actors well directed. The many changes of lighting also good. On the downside I found the musical numbers an irritating interruption to the flow of the drama rather than enhancing it; when singing the actors were over-miked; not all the notes were there, and many were approached from underneath (I appreciate this is the modern way of singing musicals); and the music itself left no great impression, being of the sub-Sondheim variety. Mine may be a minority view as the audience was very appreciative at the end, but my own feeling was that it would have been a more enjoyable evening as a straight play rather than a musical. First time at this theatre, liked it a lot, an excellent small venue, staff very welcoming and helpful (especially at the ticket desk).
