Just For One Day Reviews

IEH from IOW England

BRILLIANT SHOW

We went with two other couples, dress circle seats and perfect view of the stage. We are all aged between 65 and 75 andremember the original event well. It was an incredible day to live through even just watching on TV. I have to admit that we were a little nervous about what it would be like. Obviously well aware of Geldof’s reputation we were prepared for the language and tone. I was a bit surprised to see that one professional journalist deemed it 100% suitable for families. This is misleading. Unless the children in the family are used to hearing bad language I imagine the parents would feel a little uncomfortable. However I would also hope that most people would research both Live Aid and Bob Geldof before buying tickets. It is well documented that the request for money was not based on the words “Please do donate!” I do think Geldof's character was brilliantly played but would say that the jokes about his personality were a little overdone. Overall, great fun, great performance, great venue would recommend.

JUST FOR ONE DAY .....WHAT A SHOW

We purchased tickets for a preview show. We had seats in the front row of the circle. These were side view seats and we couldn't see the stage directly under us but it didn't matter one bit. Generally, all that was happening was dialogue and not necessarily action. The music was fantastic with so much energy being generated from every member of the cast. We did not stop tapping our toes and clapping our hands along with the music. WE LOVED IT FROM START TO END. What a great reminder of a great day back in 1985

PERFECT

The message here is that ordinary people ( the public) have the ability to make a real difference in the face of adversity. Helped in no small way by Geldofs anarcic personality . You will laugh and cry. This is fantastically well-made with a great sound and a great message. Be sure you see this.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

Don't be put off by the critics. This show is bloody great. All the cast can sing and dance. The band is on stage all the time and add brilliantly to the atmosphere. There is a very clever song between "Mrs Thatcher" and "Mr Geldoff" (Mrs T and Mr G). All the other songs are belted out. No plot - doesn't matter, any more than it matters in Mama Mia. The standard of musical theatre in London is second to none. This show can stand proud in the pantheon. I LOVED IT. GO AND SEE IT

JUST FAB!

Blown away by this show. Cast were amazing, lighting brilliantly done, lovely theatre. If you are offended by bad language then it isn't for you. We laughed, cried and cheered. Theatre magic at it's best.
