Review score:       28/4/2012
"I felt that although the women`s vocals were strong the leading men were very weak. The acting on the whole was good but this was certainly not the best west end show I have ever seen. Of course the songs were exceptional being the music of Abba. I am glad I have seen it but would not rush to see it again."

"Mama Mia"
"The show was amazing, couldn`t have Been better. Our only comment would be that the heating in the theatre was unnecessarily high and we felt we were being roasted! Our seats (top, back row) backed immediately on to radiators which were pushing out excessive amounts of heat."

"Unexpected Enjoyment"
"Took my wife as a birthday treat, musicals/shows not my cup of tea but have to say I was impressed & quite enjoyed it, my wife thought it was great and her opinion far more iportant than mine! We would probably go again to see a different show"

"The staff at the Theatre were GREAT, we ordered seats so that at least 1 was on an outside aisle, when we got there our seats were at the other end, my wife would have had to have left and not seen the show had the Staff not changed our seats to another row. The show was excellent as were the box office staff. What a refreshing experience in this day and age. Well done all."

"Mamma Mia .............. Fantastic"
"At fifst it took a while to get used to the characters as i had the film in my head , but after a short while the characters quickly grow on you. the show was faultless all the characters were amazing, we laughed, sang, danced and even cried. the costumes were colourful and the set changes very quick and flowing. the end is a sing along leaving you wanting more and more. Best show I have seen in a long time. Not for younger children there were a few there getting bored as some of the humour was adult based and a touch of bad language."

"Perfect Entertainment"
"Mama Mia, the Cast, theatre location and performance deserve a Gold Star Rating, enjoyable and humour-us. None stop entertainment from beginning to end. The cast received a standing ovation that was richly deserved. n London sites, the Tube, London Bus service, was within a five minute walk. This package for a short London stay is unbeatable and highly recommended."
