Now Playingwhat an incredible show, I knew the story and had the book, podcast and film but to see it brought alive so wonderfully in Musical form.. almost perfection!
The overuse of pixel lights in the 2nd half, great for one song but then were not needed.
10
The sets, the story, the magic.
I wish the mum had a bit more of a role

A wonderful adaptation of the film to the stage
Those talented kids make me feel that I've wasted a LOT of my life!

On first listen some of the songs aren't memorable but they grow on you

The songs, the story and the set, it was lovely
Slight accent drift from some performers

Now PlayingSo good, I've taken family members to see it again and again!
37
The sets, the production, the performances everything
some things felt a bit rushed due to compressing the movie (and adding original songs) but that's to be expected

A different take, great story and some fantastic surprises
A few of the latter songs were a bit Whiney and repetitive

awkward song transitions, some weird scenes

Now PlayingA lovely telling of the story
Tech references which don't make sense!
48
Just simply an utter delight
49
A magical wonder down memory lane including a few suprised comments of "oh I didn't know they did that"
52
A lovely afternoon show
53
Mischief are back with another great show!
Focuses a little too much on the magic rather than comedy
55
I've seen this 3 times and everytime has been fantastic
You cannot see the same one again!!!
56
The staging, the story, everything really
That we only caught it on the last day of the tour!
57
Very different to what I usually watch, but humorous
Some dance numbers went on a bit.
58
the sounds, the music
60
The lead, some of the songs, and the set design.
a bit of an uneasy watch, feels a bit soon
62
A love letter to fans, full of fun references and a unique way of telling the story
Some songs were difficult to understand with audio levels.
64
Nice to hear northern pronunciations on the west end!
Songs are very repetitive, Jamie doesn't show enough growth / vunerability as a character to get attached to him within the show
65
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Now PlayingChitty Chitty Bang Bang
Now PlayingTHE CAR ACTUALLY FLIES!
66
The costumes and lighting

Now PlayingBonnie and Clyde
Now PlayingFantastic acting, great songs and great performance
Some strange timeline jumps
70
I don't think it's as bad as everyone said.
71
Great casting, amazing use of the space and great audience interaction
Itโs very very old school musical, like youโve been slapped in the face with Jazz Hands.
72
Matilda the Musical
Now PlayingMatilda the Musical

The whole circus bit is a bit weird

The performers were great
for ยฃ75 the seats were very far away and disconnected

A muddled storyline,
78
79
I really wanted to like this.
80
Wendi Peters was fantastic in the role of 'mom' and had a fantastic voice
The show didn't stand out and the use of LED screens rather than full sets was a nice touch at the start but distracting throughout the show
81
Good stage design
I wanted to leave this show at the interval.
82
I just didn't enjoy this one
83
I liked the story and the smart behind it.
The jump scares were un-needed.

Only Fools and Horses - The Musical

Strong Cast
Confusing storyline, shoehorned in songs and just nothing made sense.
