I thought it was terrible. Not a single moment or character was believable. I love, love, love this music, I even go see Peter Noone concerts, but I cannot recommend this mess. Peter Noone's actual real life would have been more interesting than this silly fantasy, and I hope they rewrite it in that direction.

Wow, so sorry to hear this! It sounded like a great idea for a show, and so I bought tickets before hearing any early reactions. Tell you the truth, the videos I've seen online didn't look promising, but sometimes you can't tell from those. Oh, well!

The music is sung well, so there's some pleasure to be had from that. Pretend it's a concert and you can still enjoy it. :)

Not when a song lasts barely a minute plus there is that AWFUL script you have to sat though. Peter Noone not only wasn't in "Oh! What A Lovely War" but had been in three movies prior! Seeing the same set for the whole performance is like seeing a concert...
