SUCH A GOOD NIGHT!
I saw this last night. The first half was hilarious, good fun! supreme acting and well timed and executed verbal and physical comedy throughout. The whole audience was laughing and there was a really good vibe the whole way through. don't miss this!

LET'S BE HONEST... IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY.
This show has lost something in translation. All the ad libs and improvised business that were probably there and extremely funny in the original version have now become too rehearsed. As a result it has gone stale - there's only so much rehearsed corpsing you can take in one evening... and if you're going to use planted actors in the audience for some potentially hilarious moments for God sake don't blow it by giving the game away... don't put that actor in the curtain calls, for example. Hmmm.....

WAS I MISSING SOMETHING??
Saw this on Saturday night (2/3/13) and must say, I just don't get it. Audience were laughing whilst nothing was happening...please!! End of the first half was mildly amusing, but nothing that Laurel and Hardy hadn't done 70 years ago. The cast were excellent, and the best bits of the show were the adlibs. Only realised the relevance of the skiffle band after reading about the show. Boring, old fashioned, stale dodgy story and seriously unfunny. If it were a TV show, would have turned over after 10 minutes. Sound was terrible, and second half was atrocious!! Can't believe all the reviews, maybe because James Cordon was in it at the start, it was living on his hype, this is not to say Rufus Hound (who I think is hilarious is bad) but really really did not get it. Can't understand it getting almost 5 stars, I must be the odd one out. I would say this is one for the older generation, who still like old fashioned "comedy!!" Complete waste of £500 for the weekend....DON'T GO, rent a movie!!
