A bit slow to start but beautiful choreography throughout. The leading lady became unwell but the understudy was remarkable. The leading man also shone for me.

The first half of the show was flat. Dialogue lacked bite and delivery, slow on cues. Principals looked lost on such a big stage. Dancing and singing good,but, the story line really lacked any punch, too predictable. Must have been a team chat during the interval, because the Show woke up and the dialogue became sharper and crisper. The dancing was again excellent and the special dance outstanding. May one beg the male promoter, (sorry lost our programme) be given a decent suit to wear!

The story was very enjoyable, straightforward and not extraordinarily profound but well executed with the right dose of humor. Personally I would like more singing interspersed with dialogues, rather than long passages of dialogues, but that's just my personal preference. The male leads were all great, and I especially liked the performance of Adam's role (even though at times I had trouble telling them apart - partly due to the distance from the stage). The voice of the female lead felt a bit weak to me and was often overpowered during chorus. The actress playing Milo, on the other hand, was outstanding.

Well, maybe not astonished exactly, but it was very good. Evocative sets, engaging performances, great lighting, and some wonderful set pieces (my favourite was the "I'll build a stairway to paradise" vignette), and a joyous and moving musical score. My only reservation was I preferred the original storyline/plot in the film. Focusing more on the Nazi occupation and its privations, as this version does, is not really the stuff of light entertainment. Also, although the actor that played Gerry Mulligan was good, his dancing did not reach the Gene Kelly stratosphere. But that's not really a criticism - there is, and only ever will be, one Gene Kelly and it's unfair to compare him with anyone else. Gene was sui generis. However,the actress that payed Lise was a total delight - wonderful dancer and utterly enchanting.

Amazing dancing and singing; probably more time on the dancing, so if you find that boring this would not be for you. The music was secondary, and particular to the era of the Gershwin composers of the 1930s and 1940s. Some younger viewers might find the music dated, although I think it stands the test of time. Ultimately a package of dancing and song, with a slightly predictable love story.

Brilliantly performed, and staged. As a retired dance teacher/choreographer, I thought the choreography lacked the variety & versatility of the film musical; so many of the movements were the same in a lot of the routines - which flattened it a bit/became rather monotonous - but they were performed brilliantly. I also felt "less" would have been "more" with all the devises/props that were used, but on the whole, it was an enjoyable show - but without the "wow" factor for me, apart from "Stairway to Paradise" and beautiful lines of the female lead; and perhaps "Fidgety Feet number.
