Little Shop Of Horrors...In More Ways Than One Review by: ElizabethBathory, Jul 19, 2007 |
| While it may go against the tide of mainly positive reviews, this wildly inconsistent revival falls flat in some pretty fundamental areas. Little Shop was always a pastiche musical, the three girl group specifically defined as such and the choreography similarly dictated by the musical stylee of the 60's when the original non-musical film was made. However, the expression 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' has clearly eluded the creative team ... read more as they have set about messing with elements that needed no interference, especially from a team that fails to improve on the original concepts in any way. Matthew White's arrogant and aren't-we-clever production tries to re-invent with clunky consequences and allows the cast (with the exception of the delicious Sheridan Smith as Audrey) to act like a bunch of manic stage school kids with ADHD - not a pretty sight! Sometimes, Mr White, less is more for a show should never look more fun to be in than it is to watch ! |

A brilliant little gem! Review by: Anne, Jul 16, 2007 |
| This show is superb. The acting and singing are brilliant. The music is catchy, the story funny and engaging. The theatre is tiny, so everyone gets a good view. The sets are cute. Pretty damn near perfect! I would urge everyone to go and see. |
