I have to say I was disappointed this afternoon. I have seen the show 4 times now and this one was much less well presented than before. The sound was very strange. Someone would start to sing and you couldn't hear them until 2 lines in - like someone forgot to turn up their mike. Many of the songs missed their normal magic. The female leads were OK, if a bit shouty in places, but the men were a disappointment. Maybe it was the afternoon show blues but this just missed the point. There was no spark.
Its a shame as this is normally great fun - I did have fun but that was due to the music not the singing.
I hope it's normally better than it was today.
The first version I saw was in Dutch and when I saw the English version (Edinburgh a few years ago) it was just as good. This time wasnt.
Not wanting to be too critical - but Sky was cardboard and Bill wasn't singing at all - he sounded like he just shouted the words.
Maybe its just me. I wonder what others thought.
