Gielgud Theatre

Loved the show 2nd half the best , don’t understand the negative reviews at all

not usual a theatre goer, but like Sheridan Smith so thought we would give it a go. was a great evening and some great voices and performances.

I liked the idea of dealing with how the theatre industry deals with itself. How video was used distracted me from enjoying the musical by watching a large screen and two small screens at the same time as viewing the acting and singing. Having a camera operator follow the action was another distraction. It worked when Mytle was facing the make up mirror and at the stage door. Seeing many serious faces on the audience when the camera faced the auditorium showed discomfort. The songs were non memberable. More voice coaching is required to copy American speaking and singing as English English was often heard. Another distraction was the dead lady as a ghost.
