I can't find a thread for this one yet. I'm going to see it Saturday, anyone else been? The comments I've seen on Twitter are very positive.

The Donmar ITW was in 1999, with your avatar as Red Riding Hood. Could you be thinking of the 1991 Wolsey Theatre Ipswich production? I never saw that one, but I've just found that it had Wendi Peters as Red Riding Hood:  |

I saw this on Saturday and enjoyed very much. It's nice for an older woman to be the focus, it's a (vaguely) similar vibe to Flowers for Mrs Harris and Shirley Valentine - middle aged woman realises she's getting older and hasn't done much in her life, so has a bit of a blowout! Wendi Peters is just lovely, and has a beautiful voice. There are a couple of standouts songs, but you won't come out humming along, however it is all very pleasant. Would recommend.
Lordy, those perspex screens they use to separate the seating 'bubbles' are tight! We're not particularly large, but it was squeeze for the 2 of us, and after 90 mins, I was glad to stand up. Shame, because there was plenty of room, I would guess that half of the seats were empty, so we could have been spread out a bit. But it was great to be back in a theatre, and we contrasted this one with 'Roles We'll Never Play' in the evening, so all in all, a fantastic day.

I went to see Last 5 Years with the perspex screens. I ended up buying 2 seats as I knew I wouldn't squeeze into 1.

I really enjoyed this one, moreso due to Wendi Peters performance over anything else. She never stops for 90 minutes, with such control over her voice and crystal clear diction. Very impressive and enjoyed the show.

So sound issues aside I really enjoyed this. I blame the perspex screens for the sound.
Due to the doubling I'd be interested to know if it was written for a bigger cast. Anyone know?I really liked the idea of solo show but with an ensemble helping out.
Loved Wendi, ensemble and the score - more of this type of show please.
Edit: it was written for a cast of 4. I asked, as to me it didn't make sense that 2 people voiced the husband
