Saw this show at The Gatehouse yesterday, 24th July. The small auditorium was pretty full and the audience appeared to appreciate the performance overall. The production feel was pretty good, certainly given the stage the show is at. The cast were committed and did a good job, again within the level. The leads were great and I thought stood above the content they were delivering. I think the content was in need of further honing, specifically to delivery it's message more succinctly as well as giving more confidence that the show really understood it's own objectives. It felt as though there could be the core of a future production but at the moment it lacks clear definition. Still worth a watch to see the cast performances and speculate about the shoe's future.

"A bunch of amateurs" they certainly are not. This charming comedy was well performed by some amazing actors. I couldn't fault the show in anyway. The word brilliant was on my lips at the end of this show. You really have to see this play.

We saw this show a few nights ago and we were a little sad that Steve wasn't the main singer, he did pop in for a song and left due to an injury he'd had a while ago. We weren't aware he wasn't going to be there, nor were the couple that travelled quite some distance. The music was okay if a little high pitched, but no complaints. At one point it did feel a bit like a stag do, when one of the singers came on stage to do a stripper dance, no complaints from the men filming so I guess we know Steve's target audience, but for me I felt uncomfortable. I won't be going to another one, this will be the third and I'm sorry but they're all much alike.

Excellent show very talented people enjoyed it Fantastic show very talented team good night out

Show was good and amazing singers, musicians & dancers however title of show very misleading as it states 'Steve Steinman Love Hurts' we only wanted to attend as is in the past we have gone to Steve Steinman shows and we were under the impression there would be at least a few Meat Loaf tracks unfortunately this was not the case and we left the theatre feeling a little deflated and with a promise we will not be back

Thrillingly original work - a breath of fresh air amongst the earnest theatrical lectures I've found myself seeing over the past couple of years. This deserves a wide audience.

Saw it last night at Darlington, it was the last night and the audience was a bit down. The actors however gave their all and as I have no previous experience of the play it took a while to work out who the characters were. There were some very funny moments and as I could work out who was who it was more enjoyable. Would I recommend it... of course I would... it's a great piece of live theatre well performed by excellent actors. I see a lot of live theatre... I wish more people would go along it's better value than a football game and a lot more fun... and no one got sent off!!!!

I could understand if this show was half songs and half documentary. It would make it a lot more interesting. But to have a 10% songs and 90% self-indulgent and self-praising chat with a guy on the couch bigging up Dionne and fawning over her was a waste of money. Additionally one of Dionne's song was totally mullered compared to its original format- apparently it's called artistic licence but it seemed like destructive licence. Don't waste your money and time.
