| What a tremendous cast! Pity that on the night I was in there were only 2 people in the audience for every performer on stage. The piss-takes of the musical genres are very funny and the script is almost as. What blew me away was the sound that the musicians made and the stunning performances from the 12-strong cast. Their sheer professionalism and attack was phenomenal. The second half REALLY picks up speed and it ended with a very funny climax. I hope that this show will grow into something bigger. Having said that, the production values in this great theatre were absolutely first class. Only on for another week. Go and see it! - 195.93.21.101) | 26 Nov 05 |
| Brilliant! Worth it for the songs alone - but with a good story as well. Should appeal to anyone who's enjoyed listening to music over the past forty years. - 80.3.0.44) | 09 Nov 05 |
| It's like Fever Pitch for music fans (but with more songs!). The plot's not all that important, but it gets you from song to song. There are some good jokes and running gags, but the songs are the best bit. The writers have managed spot-on pastiche versions of pretty much every pop music style from the Beatles to Britpop, so everyone recognized something from their mis-spent youth. It's not always easy to make out all the lyrics above the music, which is a pity, because the ones you can hear are very funny. Definitely a fun night out - 81.19.57.130) | 05 Nov 05 |
