PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE

This show was amazing. My favourite thing was how they used the culture of the Egyptians, Hebrews and Midians in their special ways, especially through the dance styles, folk music and languages! The folk dances are the most memorable parts of the show. The cast is also phenomenal, but the star was Christine Allado, who shined from being the headstrong slave-girl to being Moses' wife. Luke Brady was also amazing as Moses and captured remorse and brotherly love which you might not have expected from this story. Also have to mention the stage design - the use of space was so creative, and the parting of the red sea was, as you might expect, majestic. 10/10 would recommend.

PHENOMENAL POTENTIAL

I read this was a work in progress but it is so nearly there. The performances were brilliant, the use of cast to represent desert or water, was so clever. It does play down the religious aspect and is more about the history of two peoples, which works well. Not sure if we saw the full costumes as opening isn’t officially until later this month. But I will be going back! A measure of how good it was- whole audience standing ovation on a Saturday afternoon. I am a true musicals fan, have seen most current West End shows. This is as good as many I have seen and better than quite a few!

AMAZING MUSICAL, BRILLIANT SINGING AND DANCING.

I loved absolutely everything about this musical, so much so that I have seen it twice. Some fantastic performances, great dancing and amazing singing. Christine Allado and Luke Brady had amazing voices, in fact all the main characters had fantastic voices, I couldn’t fault them at all. The story was great and made me both laugh and cry. Yes it is slightly different to the film but not in a bad way ( playing with the big boys is missing but that was my least favourite song in the film so no big loss) . The ending is different but I actually prefer it to the movie ending. The new songs were great, perhaps not as memorable as the original songs but they complemented the story well. I quite enjoyed the fact that they used the dancers as props and I particularly liked the moving stage and the light projections. The crowd has given a standing ovation both times that I have watched this play, the kids are already begging me to book tickets again so may go a third time, absolutely love it.

INCREDIBLE SHOW!

I don’t know whether it’s the after effects of a horrendous year that have made people so miserable but I honestly can’t believe the people writing these poor reviews saw the same show I did. No, it’s not that I am new to west end shows I have seen a vast amount of shows all over and this did not disappoint. Many of the comments refer to it “not being like the film” well had to break it you guys, unless you expected animated characters running across the stage this was never going to be the epic dreamworks film. That’s being said, all the songs were fab and I’d like to pay particular praise to the female vocalists who were fantastic and were the children of the cast! The dances/stage work was brilliant. Yes a little more emphasis on the religious element and gods intervention would have been welcomed but took nothing away from the amazing performance. The 3 of us got chills and would come back to watch again in a heartbeat. The show I attended had a standing ovation, speaks volumes.

SPECTACULAR!

This is a perfect show, except the music lets it down. Why is it moern musicals have such BAD music. Nothing to come humming re Rogers & Hammerstein, etc. Apart from that, the dancing and set design using the dancers to form most it is amazing, to put it lightly. The must also be acrobats. This show should certainly win at least a few awards. There has never been anything like. It is certainly the first of its kind. When I went, it got standing ovation - well deserved. I certainly stood.

WE BELIEVED

This review is in the context of the 2:30 performance on the 22nd of july. We found The staff, extremely helpful & very kind, and as we have a wheelchair user on the trip they were very professional & easy to approach... So top marks for the staff. As far as the actual show goes we found everything very exhilarating & fantastical and they portrayed the story with service to not just the animated film of which it's based but Egyptian & Hebrew cultures. The main standouts for us was the choreography, acting and the set design; they were all 5 stars from us. We really can't reccomend this production enough!

BEST WEST END SHOW EVER

I’ve been to see most of west end shows throughout the years, but this, is by far the best I’ve ever seen ! The casting was just phenomenal, the dancers, outstanding, from the main cast to ensemble to the orchestra, everything was outstanding. I will be back to see this again, 100%!
