- These are great seats for £25
- Are we still singing Arabian Nights though?
- Why does everyone have 0% body fat?
- The captions aren’t actually annoying when you can hear anyway
- To be fair the diction is such that the captions are quite useful even for a hearing person…
- Yeah, Aladdin’s diction really is that bad.
- I KNEW THIS MIGHT RESEMBLE PANTO AND I DIDN’T WANT IT TO BUT IT DOES
- OH well that’s fun, I didn’t realise Proud Of Your Boy was from this show.
- Having riches doesn’t mean you have happiness.
- Jasmine has no depth? Of any form?
- ‘He who has the gold makes the rules’ is probably the only part of this show which you could make relevant to everyday life.
- I appreciated that nod to popular culture in the form of a Gluten Free comment…
- This tap dance MUST BE THE END OF ACT 1. SURELY.
- I’ve never related to a line in a musical more than ‘I’ve only ever been in love twice and one of those times was with a flan’
- Is this going to be open for much longer?
- It’s probably got another year running on children and hardcore disney fans…
- How can it be that my DEAF friend just noticed that the saxophone played a wrong note, but I didn’t?
- Do I actually know anything at all?
- Should she just write this review for me?
- They literally didn’t sing A Whole New World any better than form 7P did in 2007.
- How do I remember that?
- Why does every single song go on for too long?
- I don’t think they are having a bad day, I think it’s actually just a bit of a naff cast.
- I feel like I’m glad I saw this but I definitely won’t be recommending it to anyone.
It’s what’s on the inside that counts
(Little word on day seats at the Prince Edward these days. They’re £25, box office discretion. I was 2nd in line at 9am on a Tuesday, not a school holiday, and I could have had the end of row H in the stalls. HOWEVER, you can’t see the captions from down there. So I’m super glad I mentioned to nice box office lady that I was buying tickets for that day because of the captions. Otherwise that would have been awkward. SO we sat in the circle, which is actually brilliant for a ‘please be the end of act 1’ tap number. It’s not the end of act one. Sad.)
