Just watched this at Coventry Belgrade theatre. Such a fantastic performance. Sad, funny and then hysterically funny on many levels. Singing was very strong and casting perfect. Would recommend this as a perfect pre-Christmas family night out. Be prepared to laugh, sing and dance (and shed a tear).
