Recent Reviews
Hilarious, fantastic cast and great songs. Highly recommend.
Left the show at the interval.The microphone levels were so high it was impossible to hear the dialogue when the actors were singing or in conversation. Felt sorry for the cast as it was obvious that many of the audience could not follow the plot.
Good fun production
Great cast. Good fun from start to finish
I didn’t find much variation between songs or the action happening on stage at different points in the show.
Great fun, very funny and clever. I politely suggest that if you are offended by the 'F' word to maybe consider an alternative.
Fabulous night's entertainment.
Fabulous show, laughed heartily throughout, great comedy acting and amazing voices from the whole 7-strong cast - would highly recommend
We loved it -every actor there is a big star in the making! It is a must see - so hilarious. We are regular theatre goers and all agreed it was one of the best shows we have ever seen.
Just brilliant! Absolutely hilarious and had us in stitches! Would highly recommend
Very enjoyable show. I came in thinking it would be solely focused on the crime itself, so was very pleased to see how neatly it was also about the long term friendship between the 2, and how they dealt with their first falling out. So had a heart - while it was also laugh out loud funny. Great show, highly recommended
Worst seats in 2nd row center. Bad acoustics, too loud, could not understand Stella, very difficult to follow story line. Left at intermission. Highly disappointed, waste of time and money.
