If Simon Lipkin had a puppet then this musical would be perfect

I was tempted to book but then I read all these bad reviews...

I saw this last night. It's not the best thing I've ever seen but it's certainly not the worst. I agree that the book was weak and quite a lot of the lyrics were clunky, but overall it was enjoyable enough for a last minute Wednesday night theatre trip. I actually really liked the set.
It was the cast that really appealed to me, and they all lived up to expectations, although as other people have said it's a shame that the ghosts had so many of the songs. Not that I object to listening to Niamh Perry all night. But I did feel like everyone other than the ghosts was chronically underused in the singing department. Simon Lipkin in particular - I would have cast him as the male ghost. He does creepy and comedy so well it felt like a wasted opportunity to cast him as the sheriff.
