Oops slow reply sorry, I really enjoyed it, don't think I'd have realised it was a preview night if it wasn't for the preview price :) I agree with some of the reviews that it could have done with bringing up to date a little, but the score was very enjoyable, Matthew Ashford and Oliver Beamish were fantastic and it honestly was worth going just for 'Feeling Good' which gave me spine shivers :)

Saw it last night and loved it.  An amazing production for such a small space.  And what a score!  At least four or five songs that have entered the "standard" category including "Look at that Face", one of my favourite songs ever.

Btw, I was told that Leslie Bricusse had been to see it the previous night - don't know what he thought about it but I'll bet he was pleased.
