User Review: 09Dec11: IS this working? I went last night with my 9 year-old. We both absolutely loved it! Would've bought the CD if there was one. Hope they'll bring one out. I don't like a lot of musicals to be honest, but this was charming, light, warm compared with the original play and the music and dancey bits (not full-on chorus line or anything, but plenty of movement) were properly funny. They can really sing too, and you can hear the words properly and still get the jokes even when they're sung, which I wasn't sure would work. Been to the Riverside before but not to Studio 3, which is quite intimate - lovely for this sort of thing. Completely forgot that Gyles Brandreth was a man by the end - he's definitely the most likeable Bracknell I've seen, and I've seen 4 now. Very dishy young ones - Jack, Algie, Gwendolen and Cecily, full of cheeky glances and natty moves. Prize for funniest song goes either to Cecily or to Miss Prism and Chasuble. Love to know what others think. Or maybe Jack and Algie's number 'On the Spree'. Ve User Reviews
