This was horrendously awful in every single way but I can't really criticise as they are trying to put on a musical in these times. Liked the set though - big fan of a two story revolving house and actual water. If they could keep that all and do Next To Normal that'd be great. But yeah, if this was any other time the critics would have torn this to shreds. Both leads were terrible. I couldn't remember a single song as soon as I'd walked into the foyer. Fair play to the producers for putting this on - they must have lost thousands. Bit confused with your post tbh, as this got excellent reviews in ‘other times’ and went on to win the Olivier for best musical.

I’m also not sure I agree that the music wasn’t memorable...I’ve had two ear worms that I’ve not been able to shake since seeing it a week ago...

I saw it on Friday. It was..... good. Bit of a nothing story, but it was charming and some catchy tunes. A musical I'd only see once, but glad I went.

I thought I clicked on the Jesus Christ Superstar thread and was a bit bewildered to read what I did.

I was MIGHTLY confused at Sleepless winning Best Musical at the Olivier's, but it's 2020, anything could happen
