Forgot to mention, I really liked the set.

Really glad we went to see this. My secondary school was a stone's throw away from the venue - so I don't find it difficult to find or get to - but a previous theatrical expedition to Wilton's had left me fuming, making me hesitate slightly before booking this. But I love listening to The Light In the Piazza (and re-reading the novella it is based on) so felt this was an opportunity too good to miss. I thought it was musically really interesting and, being in the balcony, we had a very good view of the band and its pleasingly lively conductor/musical director. A number of the performances were outstanding and the story is an interesting one (I'm going to try to see Billy Wilder's Ace In The Hole, based on the same source material). My only problem with it - as others have mentioned - was that it really did feel long, not helped I guess by the hardness of the church style bench which we were sitting on. I wouldn't want that to put people off though. And it does seem to be a bit churlish to be complaining of discomfort while watching someone trapped in a cave! Would certainly recommend the balcony seats for the view.
