Fantastic
Just been to see Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit. Firstly I am speechless this play was fabulously funny. Angela shone as Madame Arcati. I could watch
this again and again and it would still be hilarious. Best birthday present ever!!! ... Read more

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

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. ... Read more
