I had a lot of fun. It was light hearted and funny with a great cast. Perhaps dragged a little towards the end but overall definitely worth a watch. It's also a real love letter to the theatre so theatre fans will appreciate the references.

Really enjoyed this show, it had a very good storyline, which was quite different to anything I've seen before and was cool how it was like a murder mystery and the whole audience were trying to work out who committed the murder.
