Overall it was very good. It's too long (2hr 45 with interval) and could do with tightening up, but the performances are very charming, particularly the four sisters. It's modestly staged but it suits the piece, and there are some good voices. 'Astonishing' is the Act 1 closer and it's performed well, as is 'Some Things Are Meant To Be' in Act 2, in a very tender scene with Jo and Beth (this is the point where Joey put his book in the freezer in Friends!).
A recommended watch, but I'd say go for the matinee if you can, due to its running time.

Ooh forgot to mention the Defying Gravity moment at the end of Act 1. Song called “Unlimi.... um “Astonishing”. All she needed was the broomstick. There was a light, and everything. Sorry to quote myself from 4 years ago but…🙂 |

Watching this now.. what an amazing little production! I completely fell in love with Lydia White and can't want to see her in other projects.. absolutely brilliant!
