From Here To Eternity Reviews
Diane blackmore from London,
EXCELLENT SHOW
To be honest we booked this show because the ones we wanted to see were fully booked..... But we thoroughly enjoyed it. Darius was brill and Robert Lonsdale was amazing !!!!! Not a show for children but then if you know the film you wouldn't take them. Singing was brill and slow motion was amazing. Thank you for entertaining us.

SLOW START GREAT FINISH
We had great seats and the Shaftsbury Theatre is a wonderful venue. The show has some problems in the first act. It's a slow starter so those who didn't stay after intermission really missed the performance completely. The key problem was the actress who plays Karen Holmes. She is not likeable in the role at all - you can't muster up any sympathy for her and the gratuitous near-nudity seems forced and contrived. Her performance aside, I liked the play and the music. I thought all the other characters were well-cast and truly enjoyed the second act. If you go be patient... It's worth waiting out the slow start.

VERY ENJOYABLE
This is a more adult theme with some tasty language but I did enjoy it. Its not a les mis but what is? There are some very strong parts to the show and a rousing ending. I hope it does well as the theatre wasn't full last night (21 dec).

THE F WORD USED TOO OFTEN.
I enjoyed the show 'From Here to Eternity' the story line was believable romantic and tragic, with some great music, but I felt a little uncomfortable with the amount of times the 'F' word was used in this production. I felt the swearing was over the top and for this reason I would not take my mother or children under 16 to see it.

DISAPPOINTING!
As a massive theatre goer I was so looking forward to today, but this was sadly the worst, most disappointing show I have seen. Some great talent, but it just didn't seem to work
Disappointed from Pinner from London,
DISAPPOINTED FROM PINNER
A very disappointing Birthday treat. To many bullying sceens, weak story dragged out too long. Band, too loud drowning words from singers, singers had lovely voices when we could hear them. What a waste of my pension. So much to see in London our bad luck to book this.

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
The cast, voices, acting were all very good - but the musical score, songs, dance routines, stage set were forgettable. Even in very sad plays & shows there are some lighthearted moments but not here. I feel that the cast have been let down.The story did not translate to a musical.Much more could have been made of the romances & the invasion. It was all very repetitive from one scene to the next.
