I saw this at the weekend and it’s a delight. A tad too long and we all just wished they aged him more at the start! Gosh that cast works hard. 4 stars from me. They need to cut 20 mins off it and give him a wig or something at the start!

It's all far too wonderful for anything to be cut in my opinion.
The 19.00 start time Monday to Wednesday means a finish just after 21.30. I'd like to see more shows do this. We were home in Kent 23.15 last visit

This show keeps escaping me this week -- I keep getting offered Dress Circle seats on Rush but the legroom is a legitimate concern for me as someone who has messed up knees...
Seriously, those seats are evil. E V I L.

I wouldn't wish those seats on my worst enemy - genuinely. Somebody really ought to take a look at them and sort them out - I would reject a seat in the dress circle after my own experience up there. Shame as the view was fab. |

I was very grateful that my friend booked an aisle seat or it would have been an incredibly uncomfortable 2.5 hours for me last week!
I absolutely loved the show! Up there as one of my favourite musicals of the year. I've seen comparisons with Come From Away and Amelie (the UK version!), and I can see the connection although I think they did both have better songs. I will definitely be back for repeat visits.
Regarding previous comments on the leads voices; John Dagleish sounded very good on the night that I went. Clare Foster gave me the impression of 'actor who sings' rather than 'singer who acts' which I thought worked more than well enough for the role, although I sadly didn't see the previous leads to compare. As previously said, the ensemble are what make the show here, and they were all on top form.
The sound quality was a bit hit and miss with some lost lyrics unfortunately. I am getting a bit fed up of experiencing poor sound balance at what feels like the majority of musicals that I've seen over the past few months.
