The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The Best Exotic Marigold HotelT1018223310
Based on the Sunday Times bestseller which inspired one of this century's most treasured films, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel takes us on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British retirees as they embark on a new life. The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine and they embrace the vibrancy of modern-day India, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous, feel-good comedy about taking risks, finding love and embracing second chances, even in the most surprising of places.

Reviews

Overall: 2.86
Liz (09Feb23): Thoroughly enjoyed this and certainly would not have walked out as some other reviewers did. Only heard good comments as we left Nottingham Theatre Royal. 1st half was livelier and funnier than the 2nd more serious half and yes, there were some longer, uncomfortable pauses, particularly in the 2nd half but overall an excellent performance with a joyous end by the whole cast. 4
Geraldine (01Dec22): Fabulous production. Deserves 5* but the swearing was a bit too much for me. Very cleverly done right down to the dancing. Beilliqnt. Breath of fresh air. 4
Jean (27Oct22): Very disappointed,the script definitely didn't live up to the quality of the actors, lots of pauses, boring left in interval. 1
Richard D (22Oct22): Lazy scriptwriting, stilted delivery by some of the cast and just boring. Left at the interval. 1
Lizzie W (20Oct22): Brilliant, feel good play. It holds true to the film but each character's story is subtly different to that in the film,which makes for some interesting story lines. 5
Linda C. (19Oct22): This was the worst, most boring show I’ve seen for ages at the Churchill. Such a shame with brilliant actors. Nothing like the film. Very disappointing. 1
