 | Well, this was soo much better than I had expected! Took young daughter (Green Day fan)as a treat, but reckon that we enjoyed it as much as she. High octane cast, excellent singing/playing, I loved the staging and despite reviewers elsewhere claiming there was no story, I was taken on a journey. Of its genre, excellent. - Elisha | 14 Dec 12 |
| A superb production with incredible, creative direction, wonderful choreography and lighting and a set that looks quite simple at first glance but, is filled with tricks and intricacies that cradle the production. A wonderful young american company blasts energy off the stage and demands your attention while they tell their beautiful story. The only small criticism is that the sound is just a little too loud, you loose the lyric. A little softer would not take away for the powerful music from Green Day. I loved it and if you enjoy creative new work go and watch this wonderful piece of theatre. Hair for this generation. - Hewitt | 10 Dec 12 |
| This production is so poor, I would question the ability of reviewer Theo Bosanquet. Tickets are over-priced, sound quality poor, singing average at best, choreography lacked imagination, story line dull and uninteresting, excessive use of strobe lighting and swearing to make up for the lack of excitement. Most disappointing of all, it made me question the true quality of Green Day's classic album. It may appeal to those obsessed with anything American but for most people I'd say please don't waste your money - there is plenty more on offer in London. - Glastogills | 07 Dec 12 |
