It was amazing—everyone was so talented, the set design was incredible, not to mention the costumes and choreography. I was blown away—it was wonderful. Too bad it ends on July 5; I would have loved to see it again. The singing was incredible—I was blown away.

I somehow managed to book two seats in different rows and didn't realise until we were about to go into the theatre. Fortunately we were able to upgrade our seats directly with the box office, so were able to sit together. The show was fantastic - a proper feel good experience with a wholesome message about authenticity and acceptance. We loved it all - the songs were catchy, the costumes were superb and the performances were amazing!

We totally loved this show . Sadly our train from Glasgow was delayed 5 hours and we missed our performance and had to pay again for tickets the following evening, very disappointed that we couldn't get a full refund or tickets transferred, a lot of money 3 tickets!we got 30% back which went to 'headout' to be used in the next year ! I don't think I'll use it as only spend summer months in Uk .

From moment we entered the theatre to leaving, the atmosphere was amazing. I didn't get bored once. The cast were truly professional, they kept the audience captured, from start to finish. How they managed to transfer the film to stage was outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
