Debbie Reynolds - Alive and Fabulous (Apollo Theatre, West End)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | A wonderful night and what a performer. Great to see a living legend of Hollywood and yes not the best voice but hey she is 78 and so so funny. One of the best one person shows I have ever seen (apart from Elaine Stritch) Go while you have the chance - this really is potentially - once in a life time opportunity - Michael | 05 May 10 |
| Maybe it's an age thing... I'm not sure, but I had to leave this performance by the interval. I found it almost embarassing. Her spoken voice was odd (hate to be cruel but she sounded a cross between tipsy and a stroke sufferer); I found it very hard to understand her. Her humour was very dated and repetitive (how many times did I have to hear her repeat things like 'well you're to young to remember...'). Her singing voice was, for her age, not bad; impressions were OK - but the Babra Striesand skit went on way too long. If she'd been anyone one else, she'd have been laughed off the stage (and not for her jokes), but people just seemd so awestruck that they forgave a very lacklustre, dated and uninspired show. - sunshine | 05 May 10 |
| What a great night last night and we were on the first row and she had a bit of banter of us and later met her back stage and had our photos with her--a true professional not like many of the new stars that run out of the theatre with no time for their fans. Her concert was funny and she put so much humour into her stories---a great great night - Joe Spiteri | 02 May 10 |
| I was at opening night last night as one of the "thirtysomethings in the front row" - what an amazing night. She is the most wonderful performer, and we loved every minute of it. - Lee | 30 Apr 10 |
| Fantastic! Amazing for her age and utterly mesmerising. What an honour to have the chance to see this show. Rush there before it's too late! - Jackie | 30 Apr 10 |
