Let It Be Reviews

GOOD SHOW I ENJOYED IT.

I have seen lots of bad reviews but I do not agree. First they are not The Beatles but I should say that they do play and sing really well they may not be perfect but the show may very much recall the Beatles. The voice of 'John Lennon' is absolutely uncanny you would say John is there talking to you. Concerning the wigs that the cast use, well people wake up they are trying to portrait all the phases that the Beatles have passed through the years. They cannot make their hair to grow long during the show!!! It is better to be reasonable about expectations. The show is amazing a good cast BUT NO THEY ARE NOT SIMILAR TO THE BEATLES but they are what they are good musicians and actors showing a little bit of the 60's. I consider the show excellent and good fun, if one goes with an open mind one will love the show as I did yesterday.

EXPENSIVE BUT ENJOYABLE

Im not quite sure why so many people hate this. Its a straight tribute band with better than average backgrounds. They havent got the voices spot on but its fine after all the actual Beatles arent appearing. Everyone seemed to be having a whale of a time the night I went. It is expenive but if you sign up to all the theatre websites you can get 3rd row seats like I di for £30 then its not so bad. Bottom line is i think the negative reviewers had unrealistic expectations. It was blatantly well received by the vast majority the night I went and it was packed. I wouldnt panic if you have tickets and read these reviews. I saw the Bootleg Beatles once and they were closer I think but then Ive seen Macca a few times and he doesnt nail the Beatles sound exactly anymore either.

GOOD SHOW!

was really not looking forward to going to this show after reading the reveiws on here, but decided to try it out and leave if awful. we knew exactly what we were getting, ie a musical journey through the beatles career and not a 'west end' show as such. my wife is from Birkenhead, loves the beatles and her dad even had a fight with John Lennon when they were still the silver beatles (he kept swearing in a club in front of my mother-in-law) as i said we werent looking forward to it but were pleasantly surprised and had a really good evening. the band were tight, 'McCartney' wasnt left handed but to be honest he played ok so who cares. loved all the songs especially the psychedelic era and sgt pepper stuff which you dont get to hear from most tributes it was well produced and the guy playing 'lennon' was superb an enjoyable evening

ENJOYABLE

If you are after a night of entertainment with a great atmosphere then let it be will provide that. If you are after a true west end production, then this may not provide that. That said a really enjoyable show. However , the ticket prices are questionable ....

PRETTY GOOD ACTUALLY!

Got to see both casts. The show can't be compared to anything else in the West End. Its not a musical or play. Its a Beatles tribute concert. A tough call! There are over 200 Beatles songs and there are 40 or more here, which means there's no time for script! Still some notable exceptions. No I feel fine, We can work it out or I am the walrus and some questionable selections. Give Peace a chance!Someone should tell them its not a Beatles song. I've seen tons of Beatle bands and go to the Liverpool Beatles convention every year. I've seen old men in wigs and boys without a clue-good soundalikes who look nothing like the Beatles and good lookalikes who sound shocking but this is not one of those. The actors achieve the achievable. No more or less. One cast looks good sound great. They're not the Beatles but as close as you can get. The other is not a lookalike band but sound good and still better than the average Beatle band. All dressed up in fantastic lights, costumes and video.

A CONCERT, NOT A MUSICAL

Very disappointed, expected a musical with a story to tell. Yes the musicians were good and we were all up and singing and dancing but I could have got this from a tribute band at half the price I paid. Would not recommend this as a musical at all. Backbeat was so much better. I was in row J but still could not see all of the stage and there were at least 4 or 5 people sitting to my right whose view must have been far more obstructed. If you want a concert and are willing to pay the money then go, but watch where you sit.

JUST A TRIBUTE SHOW

While the lads singing the Beatle's songs were good, the show overall is boring. There is no story line. It is just 4 guys up on stage singing to the audience. Of course, the audience knows and loves these songs and so they are singing along with the band. Most of the people in the audience were older and more easily entertained. However, for the price I paid for the tickets ( stall seats ), I would not go to see this show again. It was just boring. Also, I would not recommend this show for a younger audience.
