GREASE ..DISAPPOINTING

i would agree with other reviews ,ray quinn spoilt the show ,his solo singing was poor and also his acting ,he had no sex appeal like john travolta had at all ,i would also agree that the 2nd half did improve as the singing was better as a group ,we also went to see we will rock you ,and to my surprise it was by far more a top show ,great actors ,great singers and great stage appearance ,i would rate grease as a small town amateur musical and rate we will rock you as first class ,a totally different experience ,amazing

RAY QUINN! WHAT A LET DOWN

I went to see Grease 08/08/09. Ray Quinn let the whole thing down. The rest of the cast were fab. I like Ray but he should not of been given this role. His voice wasn't strong enough at all. If fact there were parts where he looked un-interested. and just stood there wiping sweat off his face. All the songs were muddled up which i didn't like. I would not of paid £55 a ticket if I knew what it waas going to be like.

DISAPPOINTED

The actors were very good especially the girl who played Frenchie, she was amazing and really had me thinking she was Frenchie. Completed disappointed that it wasn’t actually Grease. I tend to avoid classics for this reason but my daughter wanted to see it. It just wasn’t Grease which made me want to leave. I was expecting it to follow the film but hey ho it was something to do while in London.

GREASE PICCADILLY THEATRE LONDON

My friend and I were thrilled to get 2 'good' seats for this show at £37.50 which was £20 off the face value Unfortunately the show itself was fairly disappointing, the majority of the actors seemed to either look the part, or sound the part, but not both! The male dancers were excellent if rather camp, and the female dancers were very good. Overall we were unimpressed, and the majority of the audience seemd to agree, with very few real laughs and no one bothering to 'clap along' when it seemed to be called for. It all lacked the wow factor for us with a very amatuerish feel, and had we paid the full £57 for each ticket, would have felt really quite ripped off. NOT suitable for the many young children who were there, definitely one for older teens and adults, The bar ( as all in London Theatres) was extortionate ( a small white house wine ( not chilled ) & a vodka & orange was £11.40. Get the DVD of the original and save the money!

I FOUND GREASE DISAPPOINTING.

The first half of the show I felt was particularly weak, some performances felt amateurish with little connection being shown between either those on stage or the audience, compared to another west end show I saw recently . It felt uncomfortable and awkward at times. I was shocked to read that Ray Quinn & Emma Stephens are an item off stage, as I could not believe in their on stage relationship. My Eyes were drawn to Ray Quinn, after enjoying his performances on Dancing on Ice - it felt like watching a young boy in what should be a mans role...Sorry! I was especially annoyed that when he was on stage, but not the main character at that time, that he showed no connection to what was going on else where and was often seen to be chatting or looking disinterested. When he nuzzled in to women's breasts it was cringe worthy, and not funny as I think was intended. However! the overall performance did improve in the 2nd half - I expected more for my money & more from a west end musical!

RAY JUST ISN'T MAN ENOUGH.

The only reason I went to see Grease 20.08.09 was that Ray Quinn was in it. I expecting a fantastic performance from an round entertainer. What a disappointment. He just was not man enough to carry offf the role. Although he played the part enthusiastically his American accent was appaling, his acting poor and his singing was not up to what we have come to expect from the X Factor runner up. He basically did a very poor impersonation of John Travolta. He tried to copy Travolta's walk, facial expressions and accent. He failed on all counts and it would have been much better if he had mde the part his own. I paid £55 for the ticket, great view of the stage but this is the first time I have left a West End theatre ( and I have been to many) feeling that the show did not live up to my basic expectations of a West End production. Do not make the same mistake as me - don't go to see it just to see Ray, you are going to be let down.

ONLY FOR DIE HARD GREASE FANS!

Left disappointed by this show as there is very little of the original story left. Would call this more of a musical tribute than anything else. Not much atmosphere on the night we saw it either.
