      Actually it just came to the West end they will need to get use to the theatre then instead to do live performances for some while but we can get some clips of this amazing casts but it will do live performances soon someday

    This is not what the musical is like, I saw it on Saturday and it was incredible. The singing (apart from oge) was faultless and beautiful. The chemistry between the leads was definitely there. So happy I was able to see David Hunter and Katherine Mcphee, if could afford it I would see it many more times. I highly recommend.

    I saw it last week and was blown away. Obviously McPhee was astonishing and Jack McBrayer was a laugh riot, but the real revelation was Laura Baldwin as Dawn. I know everyone will have opinions, and some amazing women have sung that role, but her performance as Dawn was (to my eyes and ears) just so much better than the videos I’ve seen on UA-cam or listened to on the original cast album.

    On another note though.....can we just take a minute to really comprehend the skills required to do this, and do it well! Especially the first song. Let’s make a little list, shall we?
    Constant movement + Choreography and spatial awareness between them + The vocal ability required to sustain the unrelenting pace, phrasing and structure of basically every component of the song, on pitch with perfect tone + Finally topped of with craaaazy harmonies, key changes, runs and vocal dynamics!! WOW 🤩 💯 🏆
