DULL DARK AND DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING

Dull costumes, unclear diction esp Judas, Mary belted over Peter’s sweet but soft voice. Dancers crammed in ( tho the short lead dancer was full of wonderful energy ) and actors had no real room to move - very bad use of stage space . No outstanding singers , the Jesus’s light show solo and Herods razzmatazz short performance were momentary highlights. Confusing continuity of scenes that shift smoothly . And just way too dark a mood ( i know its not a happy ending , but still - its a 70s musical extravaganza. Had longed to see this as i love the music . Deeply disappointed . Hippodrome was lovely withbcriendly staff. Don't waste your money

AWFUL

Got to be the worst performance I have ever seen. The only good singer was the girl who played Mary. Far too much screeching

SO DISAPPOINTING

went to opening night in Edinburgh, Seen this show in 1998 and 2000, have to say this show was really disappointing! The cast was all using mics to sing with, the sound was muffled and we could not understand a word. Jesus had no personality and to top it all x the biggest song of the night, Gesemane, was sung by a busking Jesus!!! I kid you not ! Very underwhelming, they have tried to modernise it too much, the set was boring, the costumes were grey and dull and the dancing was erratic. which in my opinion, ruined the authenticity and emotion! The worst being a busking Jesus who didn’t stand out. The only actor who did give good diction was Pontious Pilate x

BASEBALL CAPS AND HOODIES NOT FOR ME

Sorry, we did not last long in the theatre. Gave it 30mins and had enough. Could not make out the words of early songs. Did not catch my attention early. probably tried to compare it with versions of the past. Cannot please everyone but this sadly was not for us.

Alec Briggs from Edinburgh,

DREADFUL

Apart from garbled lyrics, dull costumes, keef fit class type dancing and screeching from all the main cast, the seats were relatively comfy, I would have left at half time but felt the second half must improve. It didn't apart from somebody should have shouted "he's behind you" with Herods pantomime solo. The public are easily pleased if they think that is entertainment. Give it a miss.
