The Drifters Girl Reviews

Beverley Hesketh-Grimsdale from London, England

A GREAT NIGHT OF EXCELLENCE FOR DRIFTERS MUSIC

If you want to be wowed by spectacular Music, Singing and Dance from an era that holds so much charm and nostalgia as the 50s and 60s then this Musical Production is for you. You are transported back to a time when you could be aware of tawdry surroundings but where the Music and Dance are so sublime that it only adds to its charm. Add a band playing as good as any from a classical orchestra of great merit. And you have a really good night out. I would love to just go to a gig where the vocalists and band where playing and would enjoy emensly. I have to admit that the storyline and acting is weak in comparison but when you consider how brilliant the musicality is most storytelling would be irrelevant or not valued. A shame indeed as the music deserves some strong recognition.

ON BALANCE VERY ENJOYABLE

Surprised at how good the singing was, agree with some of the reviews Beverley Knight shouting rather than singing one of the songs, her daughter was awkward with unnatural dancing and dialogue difficult to understand. However, I would go again as the singing and the dancing by the 4 fellas was lovely. I felt the adults worked extremely hard and put their heart and soul into the performance. A few things could be improved arguably, but they got a standing ovation for a Wednesday matinee and the audience enjoyed it. I have left plenty of other shows feeling disappointed and it was quite interesting to hear the challenges faced but a little confusing at times. The smell of cigarette smoke during the interval wasn’t pleasant. Garrick seating isn’t bad compared to some other theatres. Good location, easy to find and you will be humming those songs for days afterwards.

GREAT SHOW

Fabulous show but very disappointed at the finale. They got everybody on their feet, ready to party, and then the cast couldn’t wait to leave the stage. No encore!

DRIFTERS GIRL

Enjoyed the show - the cast worked tremendously hard - not a bad word to say about any of them. They were all brilliant.

MOSTLY GREAT

The stage presentation excellent, the actors playing the Drifters , in their guises, were superb , wonderful singing .Beverly Knights understudy performed ..that was disappointing and only named at start of performance . Criticism , why play a selection of their songs before and during the interval .

Lisa from London, England

NO SINGING ALLOWED

We were told not to sing along or stand up until the end , other reviews say they were singing and dancing in the aisles , amazing show and singers the actress p,aging her daughter was outstanding pity she didnt have more stage time to act and sing rather than be treated like a stage hand moving the scenery and props

Jan Pallas from Newcastle

DISAPPOINTING

Accent so strong difficult to pick up some words . Only parts of Driftets songs sung throughout until very end and one song sung all the way through. Story was good acting was good and the 6 worked very hard. Beverley Knight shouted rather than sang which was hard to listen to. Very disappointed there was no encore singing 1/2 more songs in full.
