HAIRSPRAY. WITH AND WITHOUT MICHAEL BALL.
With Michael in May. Fabulous! With Michaels understudy (Sorry do not know your name) 2nd of August. Fabulous! Thank you all, cast,orchestra and crew, for a great show.

**** FANBLOODYTASTIC ****
After seeing the film this was a must see show and we were not disappointed! A supremely professional show in which every performer put their heart and souls. Michael Ball was absolutely hysterical in his best scene where he could 'feel the bells'! Superb singing and dancing from all of the cast but the star of the show for us was Ben Ellis, who we'd seen dancing in the auditions of 'Joseph' and boy did he dance! Can't wait to see him again. An excellent mix of song, dance and humour with a good moral ending. Toes tapping from start to finish and for us a standing ovation well and truly deserved. Please see it and enjoy!!

FANTASTIC! A MUST SEE SHOW!
I went to Hairspray as my first West End experience (although I saw Phantom the night before) and I was not disappointed. The cast were fantastic, the songs catchy, the dances engaging and the laughs kept on coming. If you've never been to the West End before this is the show to see. If you have been then this will only heighten your experience. Michael Ball had me in stitches with his portrayal of Edna. Charlotte Riby was fantastic as Tracy (If she's the understudy the main actress must be brilliant). The voices were phenomonal. I will definatly be returning to see this show in the not too distant future. If you do nothing else, go see Hairspray.

A MUST SEE
I came out singing and haven't stop yet. The cast are all amazing and I think it is definitely one of the best performances i've seen in a long time. Michael Ball as ever never lets you down.

A MUST SEE SHOW
I took my daughter to see this show last night for her 1st West End musical experience. We both thouroughly enjoyed it! Michael Ball was extremely funny and the rest of the cast were fantastic!

EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS!
Having front row seats made this show even more special. I felt I was part of it. Tracy was amazing and the Edna and Wilber duet was a hilight for me. One of the most enjoyable productions I have ever witnessed. Michael Ball - Outstanding.
