FANTASTIC

What a great show we saw last night! Took my 11yr old daughter who thought it was fantastic too! Sat in row C at the front which was great really felt part of the show! It was so lively made you want to dance in the isles! All the cast performed fantasticly cannot pick out anyone in particular. Great music, Great voices well done to you all.

UNDERSTUDY LIGHTS UP THE STAGE!

The show last night was fabulous. Charlotte Riby as Tracy was brilliant, the stage shone everytime she was on, the same goes for the rest of the cast. The energy that came off that stage whipped the audience into a frenzy before the curtain went up and was still there long after the standing ovation. Verity Rushworth's debut in a West End production will not be her last - her comedy timing and beautiful voice were sublime. Ben James-Ellis certainly got the younger audience's attention and his dancing skills were fab! Michael Ball is great and the humour between the Turnblads had us all in stitches. Our seats were excellent, thanks to a special offer so it felt like we were on the stage with the cast. If you only have time/money to go and see one West End show then I can't recommend Hairspray enough - grab a can of hairpsray and make your way to the Shaftesbury Theatre!

HAIRSPRAY

Oh my god..Hairspray was amazing i went on the 12th of feb the 3pm show and i loved every minute of it... then when we went to the stage door we saw Ben it was amazing it was like a dream meeting him, the musical was much better than the film and i love the film! I came with my youth club from Wareham, Dorset and we all thought it was amazing! I will be there again before july and i hope this time i will get to meet Adrian in person :) xx

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT!

From start to finish Leanne Jones, Michael Ball, Ben James-Ellis and the soul queen Johnnie Fiori carry this musical through all expectations. Being a budding Musical Theatre Performer, I have been waiting for Hairspray! to reach the UK. When it finally did, back in 2007, I was right there watching it. I have seen it 3 times since, and it never fails to win my heart. It truely is the best show in London. If you're looking for a cure for depression or you're in town, just go and watch it. This cast deserve a Cast Recording. The OBC Recording just doesn't do this production justice!
