Review:

On the 18th November I had a chance to see my favorite musical at the west end for the first time since it original run at the Crucible theatre in Sheffield.


Now as it had quite a lot of the original cast in it. I knew it was going to be outstanding. I honestly can't fault them. The new cast members was so lovely, and really talented, and who said drag can't sing wrong, as there were couple of Drags up there who have stunning voices.


With the theme of songs there are a mix of upbeat to songs that little cry yourself to sleep, quick I basically did. Mainly to Ugly in this Ugly world, which is a very powerful emotional song, which sits to close to my heart, as I been there.

One of the strong storyline is between Jamie and his mum, as she always been his rock. From a young age she saw something special in him, that nobody else could see.

All I can say go see it, it make you laugh, cry, smile and sing.
