An unusual and inventive production delivered by an enthusiastic and energetic cast. Not for all tastes, but an enjoyable enough piece of hokum for those prepared to ignore it's obvious shortcomings.

Well sung and acted with an interesting storyline and likeable libretto let down by a drab and unexciting musical score. Fails to deliver what it says on the tin.

Slow in parts, genuinely very funny in others. A rom-com with a difference, not to mention a generous twist of the absurd.

A real marathon of a show, over five hours of wholesome fun with a consummate entertainer. Real value for money.
