I caught this thanks to a very cheap ticket via Central, and enjoyed it a fair amount. It's essentially an 18 rated pantomime and at just over 80 minutes felt about the right length, and for the majority of the running time I was finding myself laughing a fair amount, even if the best song comes in the first third, and it seems pretty clear that the director was very aware of that as it's the one which is staged the most inventively too. Towards the end I was hoping for one more killer song and it never really came, and if I'd paid full price I might have been harsher, but it was a very well performed and sung daft romp that I'm glad I've seen.
It's at the Turbine until September 28th, though dates vary as they're also staging "Come Dine With Me: The Musical" at the venue which unless it gets really great reviews I doubt I'll see as I can't say the concept excites me.

My friends enjoyed it but I found it relentless. Seemed like a very amateur version of Police Cops that I strongly disliked.
