A GREAT SHOW!

Loved every single minute! The dancing is fantastic especially the flamenco bit and Will Young is cheeky, funny and sounds great too!

FANTASTIC SHOW

Oh my, my daughter had booked my seats for my birthday. The film Strictly Ballroom was a big part of our lives. My daughter her cousin and friends through their local dancing school had a show with all the songs. That in Glasgow was absolutely amazing, oh my how they danced and sang too for so long. Kevin was absolutely remarkable, he had to dance and sing a lot but honestly, wonderful, wonderful performance. I loved it💕

EXCELLENT SHOW

What an amazing spectacular show fit for anyone of any age, we were not dissapointed in any way settings and costumes outstanding singing and dancing fantastic with a good amount of comedy Paso Doble piece was really outstanding of course Kevin Clifton was brilliant but to us Faye Brooke was the star of the show she was funny and can dance she also has a brilliant singing voice, I highly recommend anybody to go for a fabulous night out 👍👏

STRICTLY BALLROOM

Really disappointed with last nights performance, nothing to do with the actors, it is the fact that the two main characters we paid to see Kevin Clifton and Maisie Smith were not present. The storyline wasn't great and the Australian ascents poor. 6 out of ten for me...

3.0 star rating Jan from London, England

STRICTLY LACKING!

Disappointed! No Kevin Clifton. No spectacular dancing or costumes. Poor story line. Jokes poor . Expensive tickets for amateurish show. Maisie 5* , Flamenco dancer 5*, understudy standing in for Kevin C did his best but not same dance standard as Kevin

KEVIN & MAISIE NO SHOW

Awful show. Kevin and maisie didn't dance, didbt appear, no announcement, happened 2 nights before too, £90 gone to waste. Very poor, left at interval. Best bit was last 15 mins of 1st half, the paso bit.

2.0 star rating Stephen Campbell from Liverpool,

POOR

The star names were not present and the production was very amateur.The Aussie accents were terrible and the dancing apart from the Paso Doble at the end of the first act was below average.My wife and I left at the interval and went home.What a waste of 2 x £50 tickets.Feel cheated and would definitely not recommend this show keep your money in your pocket.

NO STAR PERFORMERS !

Both stars of the show were missing.We paid £100 (£50 a ticket) to see the show and we're were bitterly disappointed.I have seen better amateur dramatic shows at the local civic hall.We left at the interval and went home feeling cheated of our money.

1.0 star rating Alison Cox from Bristol,

VERY DISAPPOINTING 😞

I have seen a lot of musicals over the years but this has to be at the bottom of the pile I'm sorry to say. The show has a very weak storyline & was so repetitive with its songs & cast reappearing in the same costumes & very little change of scenery which all added up to a very boring show. The only part which was worthy was the last 15 mins of the first half with an incredible paso performance by the Spanish guy. I was expecting so much more with this show being directed by Craig Revel Horwood but sadly it just didn't happen.
