Love the show! Went on the second preview evening.
Amazing! The show was a breath of fresh air from start to finish. I left the theatre with a big grin on my face. Had a difficult few months personally and this is what the doctor ordered!
I will be back!

Saw the show on Friday 2 November - was Ben James Ellis playing the role - didn't look like him at all?
