I saw this last night but wanted to gather my thoughts before I said anything, I found this to be a bit bland! The actors/band was a bit bizarre and at times quite off putting with the switch from actor to band member and took away from the believability of the parts they were playing however small I mean who walks around with a fiddle in their hands or a guitar strapped to their back?
I will say I was in the circle and had that Row B seat spoken about earlier in the thread and didn’t notice any sound issues apart from quite a few missed mic cues which would or wouldn’t have made a difference depending on where you were sat.
Have to say no songs are in my head nearly 24 hours after which is never a good sign from someone who works with music!
Cast were very good and doing their best with what they had to work with, lighting was pretty standard and the set was more static than a Sunday night concert!
It was very like Cone From Away (which I see has been mentioned) but as I described it last night CFA light!
Overall thoughts were it was ok glad I have seen it but won’t be going back in a hurry (and if I do I need more alcohol before to get me through such bonkers story) I feel that there is better iut there using this kind of format only 2 Stars from me I’m afraid!
Onto tonight’s offering at The Noel Coward!
