BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENT. DON'T MISS IT.

My wife and I saw it last night (6 March) and loved it. We have seen the play several times before and it cannot really fail but this was up with the very best. Angela Lansbury was, of course, the star, as Madame Arcati, but this was actually a cast where they all pulled equal weight. If I had to make a criticism, it would be that the audience were loving it so much that it was sometimes a little difficult to hear everything, even from quite near the front (Row J). I'm not sure that really counts as a criticism! There's only so much projection that a cast can be expected to sustain over all the mirth they were generating.

DAME ANGELA, WELCOME BACK!

A fabulous play and first class performance from the cast led by London's very own Dame Angela Lanesbury. Theater full to the brim, standing ovation and those kind of goosebumps you get when you know you are in the presence of a true world class star! I am definitely seeing it again soon.

WONDERFUL

We saw this play last night and it was superb - The play is very funny and a perfect vehicle for Angela Lansbury as Madame Arcarti. The whole cast were brilliant and the comic timing was perfect. A wonderful evening out and not to be missed!

DAME ANGELA GETS INTO THE SPIRIT OF THINGS

A wonderful production – great comic timing by the entire cast. Special mention for Patsy Ferran, on her professional debut as Edith the maid – and wonderful. But since the big question is the star – Dame Angela is just fab! Fuller review at http://thevoluptuousmanifesto.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/angela-lansbury-lights

ENTERTAINMENT AT ITS BEST

My friend and I enjoyed a marvellous afternoon of entertainment from a small but extremely talented cast. The cherry on the icing was undoubtably dame Angela who delivered an hilarious performance!

AS GOOD AS I'D HOPED, WELL ACTUALLY BETTER!

Saw this on Easter Monday, was expecting to love Dame Angela ( bit of a heroine since a school trip to see bed knobs and broomsticks when I was nine) and I did, but the whole cast and production were amazing, loved every bit, so well deserving of the very long standing ovation which genuinely seemed to thrill the very radiant leading lady.
