    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.

    We loved, loved, loved the show! It is exciting to know the show was being recorded for PBS. The ticket prices were very reasonable. The design team was exemplary. Direction and choreography was out of this world! Stephanie J. Bloch is a superstar. She commanded that stage! My only complaint is with the theatre, that the Grand Circle at the Barbican felt like a fire trap and very claustrophobic. Can something be done to ensure guests can exit quickly should there be an emergency?
