THE LORD OF THE RINGS SPECTACULAR!
Wow what a show! I went with my school to see The Lord Of The Rings, and after seeeing the films and reading the books, i was curious to see how they could manage it all on stage. What can i say, it was breath taking! The lighting, the sound effects, the costumes, were just incredible.
I have to admit, after not being a huge fan of the films i was pleasently surprised to find myself after the performance, wanting to watch all over again and would recommend it to everyone.
Go in with an open mind! Its like nothing you have ever seen before-an incredible insight to middle-earth! You feel as if you are part of the show and the acting and singing is so brilliant, better than any show that i have been to see.
So, get tickets now, it will be a shame to see the show end and if you miss out, what a loss! You will have missed the best show of our time! ... Read more

Awesome
Me and my wife have seen many shows, this has to be the best of all, the acting was nothing short of excellent, I lost myself into the script feeling like I was part of the theme. DONT close the show, forget the critics, would be sad to see so many people miss out on a performace like this. Go see it, you wont be disapointed, and the singers bravo... ... Read more

An utterly amazing experience!
This was the most amazing show I have ever seen - not just a musical extravaganza but a total experience right from the moment you stepped into the theatre to the time when you had to leave - very reluctantly! I could watch this show over and over and still see something I missed before. Don't miss this one!! ... Read more
