This was the first show I had been to and was not disappointed. Mel was excellent in the role (sat in the 3rd row and saw every emotion), as were the whole cast. Would definitely recommend, standing ovation was well-deserved.

I saw the show on Sat 31st oct and was left amazed by the whole cast and of course Mel she gave an amazing peformance and has clearly mastered 'getting into character' as when they took the first bow Mel still looked drained and devestated, however as the audience rose to their feet and they continued to applaude for the cast to take a further 3 bows mel began to smile and it was clear that not only had she enjoyed the show herself but was also relieved and enjoying the positive audience reaction on her first night!

Melanie was great, I am quite truthfully her biggest fan and LOVED the show last night, thought the whole cast was great and cried when she walked on stage.
