The show was pure entertainment and amazing - the acting, lights, music and the shear energy of the cast was incredible. A must see if it tours the UK.

This particularly appealed to me as I grew up with the Kinks music and therefore it was nostalgic but should appeal to anyone who appreciates the talented songs written and then reproduced in a fun way. Could appeal to any age! Very entertaining and positive in a world of madness at times!

The music was enjoyable and true to the Kinks original hits. The story highlighted the exploitation of the early Kinks by their unscrupulous managers and the infighting within the group but it could have been told more concisely, shortening the production by at least half an hour.

I'm not usually one for moaning about any shows! But the seats upstairs are so uncomfortable I was getting cramp in my leg after a while! For some strange reason I just couldn't get into the show! And out of all the show! I would say the last 20 mins was the best part lol if you like really really loud music then this shows for you

Sunny Afternoon is an energy filled, vibrant, fun show. Excellent musical talent. All on stage were enjoying performing. I would see this show again and have already recommended it to friends and family. One bit of advice: mild bad language (comedy timed though), may make this unsuitable for young children.

This is a very good musical if you live the Kinks. It would be maybe so so if you didn't. I adore the Kinks so was bopping and singing along the whole time. The ending is Fantastic!! Just when you think it is winding down, it totally winds up again! I think the live music is sometimes too loud for the voices... And the voices are perfect! Casting is spot on! It's like Beautiful but sbout the Kinks... Or American Idiot. If you like that musical formula, you will like this version. Theater is cozy and intimate. We were in the first balcony and missed a bit of the show that goes on in the runway that jets out to audience but it was minor. The cast seems to have a ball and I loved it that they came into the theater and were part of a singalong. Hope the Kinks are getting some royalties! They've obviously been burned!

Sunny Afternoon had us rocking in our seats. Anyone who grew up in the 60's with The Beatles, Rolling Stones and The Who would enjoy this fun musical about the Kinks. I had forgotten how great the music written by Ray & Dave Davies of the Kinks was during the 60's. I could sit through it all over again. The acting was convincing an I felt that I was watching the lives of the Kinks unfold in front of me. I had seats in the stalls in this quaint little theatre and the actors often came off the stage performing in front of you. Anyone who likes rock music should see this musical.

The story was well written and the music and acting was excellent. Listening to the singing you could easily y believe that it was the original Kinks. The story was good in that it showed the emotional roller coaster that young pop and rock stars go through when they find instant fame. I would advise other visitors not to book seats in the top balcony unless they have a very good head for heights as the balcony wall is quite low and is very close to the front seats. We saw several people have to move further back as they felt very uncomfortable being so close to the edge.

This was a matinee performance and it looked like it was regarded as such, with the actors having last night's performance still in their legs. It made the story become disjointed and ragged overall. The audience too were not spontaneous with their participation and applauses, which is always an indicator of something awry.

Sunny Afternoon shook off our wet Wednesday Blues, with music and a story line that unfolded the story of the Kinks. The family background was touching, the brothers mateship moving and the cast all giving wonderful performances. Having said that, young Dave played by Oliver was one of the best performances I have ever seen. Charisma and energy leaping off the stage, with his every move.Our jet lag, having arrived from Australia was shook off with the loud fabulous songs, especially with the plus ten, plus ten, plus ten !!

I went to this show as I have been a Kinks Fan for fifty years, and I suspect this applies to most of the audience. Some of the music is very loud, the storyline modest. Against that the show is lively, well-presented, the young cast are impressive and if you are into 60's music it is well worth a visit. The average age of the audienc eseemed surprisingly high!
