Swirling and compelling must see!
Fantastic direction of movement, music and use of the stage, scene transformations are rapid, inventive and many, perfect cast, all songs are easy on the ears, many wonderful uplifting; none too long. Excellent balance between story progression, humour, song and emotional depth. We all had a great time (2 parents with a teenage son, which made the finale all the more touching).

Fantastic experience
From the moment the first person opened their mouth to sing I knew I was going to love it. The brilliant singing and acting, versatility, cleverness of stage props and direction was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations and the whole experience was just wonderful. We gave them a standing ovation.

The best creative show I have ever seen
Based on the wonderful story by Rachel Joyce, the musical gives the audience all the detail,and more , that adds together to engage them in the powerful journey that unwinds. It is an emotional experience from beginning to end. The cast are exceptional in their delivery of the superb songs , the tap dancing duo were outstanding.
