    The Band – such a phenomenal show!! I’ve seen it 16 times and it never fails to blow me away. People go in to the theatre expecting the story of Take That and come away having laughed, cried and relived their teenage years.

    Strictly Ballroom is the best musical I have seen and l saw this 3 times. The dancers were brilliant but the star of the show for me was Will Young. What a talented young man. His singing voice is so beautiful but his acting and comedy timing was just fantastic , couldn’t take my eyes of him he is so charasmistic. I want this show to return to the Westend. The audience just loved this show and the standing ovations were so well deserved.

      Eugenius definitely. Awesome lines, catchy songs, geekiest show I’ve seen. I’ve seen it about 8 times. I wish they were coming back…
