Very muddled story, repetitive choreography, not that it mattered, bit of a burlesque... which got my attention. We bought £20 cheap seats and got upgrade as it was nowhere near full on Wednesday. It was adjacent our hotel.. Handy. we were toying with going at interval but glad we stayed..the cast worked hard and it's a pretty little theatre.. Don't... More

If you grew up with '80's music and don't mind sexual humor, this will have you laughing for a couple of hours. If there was more room, you'd be dancing too. Stringing together hair-band hits, the best part is figuring out what the next song will be based on where the plot it going. Not your typical theatre outing, but... More

Funny and talented piece full of 80's songs that were so classic. Small theater and interactive crew. More

This musical is one of the best on Broadway. It's a fun, lively and funny musical with terrific music from the 80's. More

My husband and I went for a Saturday afternoon show & it was wonderful! My husband isn't a Broadway type of person at all, so he chose the show stating "I think that show looks like one I can handle" and he LOVED IT too! Very small theatre, we did "will call" to pick up our tickets & it was... More

I went with my girlfriend to the London Shaftesbury theatre instead of New York Theatre. It was a great show and story line, very funny and great 80's songs. This is a must see for modern theatre. I've heard that they are making a movie out of it also. More

The music was fantastic, the acting was wonderful, the costumes were great, the set was great, and I loved the story. I had a ball at this show so much that I had to see it twice! If the movie doesn't turn out to be as good as the play, I'll have to go see it again! More

This show was the most crude, crass show I have ever seen. I went because I wanted to hear some good music and see a good love story. Unfortunately, the focus was on continual thrusting and propagating of male body parts - mainly the penis. The women were depicted as sex objects, with males looking at butts and up skirts... More

This was the first Broadway show I've seen, and I'm happy we have chosen this one. The story is a bit shallow, but the music is great, and the theatre so small that you really feel a part of the show (we also had very good seats in the third row). The music is mostly 80s, however, my teenage daughter... More
