NO ENCORE … REALLY DISAPPOINTED

I love the Drifters and was very much looking forward to my first theatre visit for 2 years . The songs are fantastic and Beverley Knight and the boys performances were first class . However storyline not the easiest to follow and the small cast multi tasking characters felt a bit cheap …. no reflection on the actors themselves . The very strict no singing along or dancing during the performance was made even worse with the one song encore … no medley , no chance to really show your appreciation and as this was the last part of the show it does very much over shadow the whole experience . The last thing remembered . Didn’t meet my expectations but can’t take away from the fact the cast gave 100p/c and for that I thank them .

VERY POOR SHOW.

No storyline. No set to speak of. Quite honestly it appeared that the writers thought that they only had to sing a few good Drifters songs, write a lame storyline, provide no set and make a load of money. Performances from the individuals playing the Drifters roles, sang well, as did Beverley Knight, but the latter spoke with a dreadful Southern accent, throughout her performance, which was very irritating; she also shouted, rather than speak her lines. This role did not do Ms Knights reputation any favours.

DISSAPOINTING SHOW

Paid good money for the tickets and the dialogue was poor throughout. Totally lost in the story and the small cast were jack of all trades during the show. On the upside the singing was amazing and the last five minutes of the show was quite good.

A TITLE IS JUST A TITLE

Whilst Beverley is an excelent singer this show was a sad reflection of what she can do. Weak vocals, no stage presence, poor lighting and ZERO set!! Who was the set designer? Should be fired ! Left at half time. Total waste of my time and money!
