The performance was amazing. For my generation, it was roughly true to the original with a hint of panto o about it as the 12 episodes are so ingrained in our consciousness. A fun evening for sure.

If you want to see a Fawlty Towers episode done on the stage that is exactly what you will get. Cast was really good. The lead actor was channelling Cleese. Balcony seats let us down a little in this venue; couldn't see all of the set.

Whe booking the tickets I was aware 3 seats together were in the eaves, however, I was not aware that the only way to access these were by a concrete spiralling staircase at the side entrance to the front door. Two of us walk with sticks and it was exhausting to access our seats. To be fair a staff member who showed as our seats did fetch the three of us water, which was much appreciated. The show itself was good. However we then had to exit in the same manner, as you can imagine this is very painful when you have bad knees. We are all in our early to mid sixties.

It was more than I expected (and my expectattions were already high). I was afraid I would compare to the oringinal cast, but within minutes I was in the story and into the caracters. I was a trip down memory lane, so recognisable and I enjoyed every monute of the play.

I answered this earlier but will repeat myself. It recreated the TV show we used to watch on PBS every Saturday night. The actors truly imitated the originals that we couldn't tell the difference and it funnier the longer we watched it. Fawlty Towers is truly one of our favorite plays we have ever seen in London and traveled all the way from Oklahoma just for this MAIN attraction!!!
