Magnificent show, outstanding voices, nice mix of actors, clever set, fascinating storyline (the details in the programme explain why some things happen). Thought provoking and such a shame more people couldn’t see it, we would go again.
I didn’t quite know what to expect, but was. Really knocked out by this production! There was a lovely combination of musical styles from ragtime to pop, to quite dissonant harmonies. The characters were well defined and superbly brought to life b Read more
An unusual story of sleeping beauty, very funny in parts and also sad in parts, I really enjoyed it. Acting was great and some amazing songs were sung perfectly. Set was colourful and put together well.
