The London production, believe it or not, was very charming.

It's a very slight show, though, and it doesn't (in my experience) work nearly as well in a traditional proscenium theatre as it did at the New London, however much they try to recreate the way that theatre was configured for the show elsewhere (the original London production was staged three-quarters in the round, in a theatre that's a little smaller than most of the West End theatres that are commonly used for musicals). The video, unfortunately, does not do the material very many favours.
