    The show was fantastic, the Barbican is always a great venue too. The production was top notch, some of the best dancers I've seen, and absolutely massive voices leading the show.

    The show was brilliant. Not a new show to me, but probably the best version I have seen. it had it all - song and dance, great singers, comedy, and even a touch of Shakespeare.
