Check in was SMOOTH! The seats easy to find! The staff was SUPER HELPFUL from front door men to the wait staff. The crowd was generally kind to each other, standing up and oetting others into the seats with a smile each time. The musical itself was AMAZING!!! The cast....BRILLIANT! I had the loveliest white couple behind me who came from Oxford and we all agreed it was money well spent! Absolutely BRILLIANT experience!

The story, the setting and the music were all there, but it's a shame we struggled to understand the words to the songs, which meant we lost a big part of the story.
