I don't like musicals; let's get that straight from the start. One person walks on stage and announces he's going to the train station. The second character, with some indignation, exclaims "TRAIN STATION!" and then the singing starts:
1# Yes the trains station 2# Not the train station! 1# Yes the Trrrrain STATION.
Cue dancing, a chorus line of shocked commuters appear, the lights go mad, glitter starts to fall and a gaggle of under-fives appear on strings from the ceiling waving at their parents. They can't sing but aren't they cute! It's a Musical a MUSICAL a MUSICALLLLLL. So having this stance it would be unfair to write a review because I'm somewhat prejudice. That's why I asked all my friends what they thought of last nights performance: - Brilliantly satirical and very decadent - Peter
- Not as serious or as dark as I've seen it done before - Charlotte
- Really good though not the same the second time round - Paul
- I loved the involvement of the band it had real pace and energy but the ladies legs were just too long. - Christina
Some nice quotes there, though I doubt the production company will replace the ones from the Daily Telegraph on their billboards. That would be novel wouldn't it? I'd love to see that splashed all over the big screen in Piccadilly: Brilliantly satirical and very decadent - Peter. So the general consensus was that if you have to see a musical this is a good one to see but they've not sold me. |
