What did you get up to?
My friend and I went to see the show on a weeknight, and we were taken aback by how popular the show was! We had dinner at one of the restaurants near the theatre and grabbed some snacks from the venue before sitting down. We had excellent seats with a great view just a few rows from the stage. We couldn’t believe we were a few metres away from a former pussycat doll, Ashley Roberts who plays Dawn. We were able to see clearly and feel every emotion with every note that was sang. Even though we had never seen the original movie on which the show was based, the storyline was easy to follow, and we were blown away by the incredible performance.
What did you enjoy the most?
There were some serious themes to the performance, with the all-female lead portraying the power of friendship and exploring themes of abuse, entrapments and infidelity. The transitions were seamless, the singing heart-warming and the storyline inspirational. There were plenty of moments filled with genuine belly laughter. Best theatre experience by far!
Top Tip
Remember to pre order your interval drinks as the queues were quite long.
