AMAZING!

Seen the show on 19th July and it was absolutely amazing! Standing ovation well deserved. DT and CT sizzled and rest of cast were brilliant too. First class show. Loved it!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

Went to see this with a work friend, the matinee performance on 16th July and loved it. It was the first time I had been to see a favourite actor live on stage (David Tennant) and I wasn't disappointed. All the cast members were very good, but David and Catherine were both outstanding. They were both very funny, timing was perfect and they switched from funny to serious in a second. David really involved the audience, especially in one part when mid-speech someone in the audience made a noise, David paused - made a comment in the person's direction and carried on with what he was saying. That caused much laughter. The revolving stage was a clever idea, to incorporate scenery changes. We were quite high up in the Grand Circle, but could see and hear everything, with a great view of the whole stage. Much clapping and cheering at the end, which was well deserved for everyone. Would love to go again, but finances will not allow it. Do hope it will be put onto dvd somehow.

SIMPLY DEVINE!

Right from the very opening the show was comfortable and pleasing to watch. This was their 72nd performance, the sheer quality that was consistent throughout really made a difference. It's great also to see this interpretation on Shakespeare's original, giving it a modern and accessible touch to the audience. The supporting cast were fantastic, really defining those ensemble moments and as for the main cast they were just phenomenal, David Tennant and Catherine Tate showcased everything that is good and right about British theatre. Overall a stunning production, both hilarious and gripping. Best moment would be David Tennant eavesdropping, just pure original comedy!

SIZZLING SHAKESPEARE

Much AdoAbout Nothing was performed with all the comedic vereve it was always meant to have! The whole cast played it with a warmth and depth it deserved. Of course Tennant and Tate were amazing with the most wonderful timing in the scenes. I worried about the setting of it in the 80s but it worked brilliantly! If you want a fantastic, entertain evening out go see this.Thanks cast for the most wonderful evening.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

To sum it up I'm not sure if it could be any better to be honest. It was hilarious, dramatic and moving. It was the first time I went to see the performance of much ado about nothing and it is now my favourite play of William Shakespeare or anyone. Everyone acted outstandingly especially David Tennant and Catherine Tate. A lot of credit should go to the amazing directer because of the timing of the jokes, I haven't laughed so much in ages! I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I mite even go again depending on the price of the tickets. I believe it was the 73rd performance on the 27th of July. I hope you go as you will really enjoy it.

A DREAM COME TRUE

When I first heard that my favourite shakespear play was going on West end, and that my favourite two TV actors were playing the roles of Benedick and Beatrice, I practically cried with happiness. Months later I finally was able to see the show and it is one of the BEST shows in the world. The Comedy timing was perfect and the acting was superb. The whole cast took amazingly to there roles. I also noticed that several people were debuting there talent, and what amazing talent they had. Every single cast member made the performance that extra bit special. I am glad that we have such brilliant actors in our country and that theatre is such an inspiration. I hope that one day I will be able to perform in a theatre with such passion that was show in Much Ado About Nothing. To Tom Bateman, the young man who plays Claudio, I wish you luck in your final year at LAMDA and that I am now a massive fan of your acting and you are a inspiration to all young actors.
