I guess it’s true that it doesn’t reach the lofty artistic heights of Thriller Live, which also had a gripping storyline throughout and dazzling choreography. Also a scenic and lighting design that was at the pinnacle of achievement.

Because people like different things. I despise Abba but raved about Abba Voyage and would go again. Your issue clearly is with the man and his music and not the intrinsic quality of the show.

Loved him & his music. My problem is the intrinsic quality of the performance I saw. (Which admittedly may not be representative of the show normally).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Barnaby as invested in a show as this. What gives mrbarnaby?

The ticket sales are pretty sh*te for a major musical
That fact remains

My problem is the intrinsic quality of the performance I saw. Maybe the inevitable Kings of Leon / Ed Sheeran / Oasis musicals in future years will be more visually dazzling and with a razor sharp plot.

They don’t really lend themselves to entertainment.

Wasn’t impressed when I saw it. Maybe I went on an off night but I was expecting more from the big set pieces. Even the finale felt flat
We have had two musicals about one if not the biggest superstar in the last 50 years and both have missed the mark
The songs just seemed to drop in and didn’t work around the narrative as well as other jukebox musicals do
I saw the touring show of the Osmonds Story a few years ago and for a show that had a similar, albeit not exactly the same, type of story that was done far better
