I saw this on Friday and loved it. The stage design is one of the cleverest I've seen, and the cast all very talented. Very funny too.

I second this question. I want to get a Sat dayseat but now can't do it until 7 or 14 Apr, the last 2 Sats of the run. I'm hoping it won't have got too busy.

Found this a bit dissapointing to be honest. The cast were all great but the material stretched thin over 2 1/2 hours. Can read my review of the show here.

Each to their own I guess. Finally saw the Ladykillers yesterday and I really enjoyed this.

I do think that the first half is better than the second half so perhaps I agree with you. Just our starting points were different for me. A big five stars for the first half.

Loved the cast but a special mention to Stephen Wright who played Harry Robinson. He had lots of the better lines and after his performance in the Habit of Art we could have a new major star on our hands here.

I thought it took WAY too long to get going, though was entertaining once it did. And it's Stephen *Wight*, also superb in Dealer's Choice. ;)

When I saw it in Liverpool I don't remember the pacing being slow.  I though it flew along!

Have just heard that Clive Rowe will be out of the show for the remainder of the run, due to a knee operation.

It's a great show and would greatly recommend seeing it if it is coming near you.

The tour is coming back to the West End, going into the Vaudeville.

No cast announced, so will be interesting to see who is in it, though I can't think how'd the'd top the original West End cast.
