I was so looking forward to seeing this as has always been my absolute favourite, I went with an open mind and was not disappointed!, it's easy to expect to see what you know but this being an outdoor production and on such a unique stage was always going to be different, the singing was haunting and the dancing beautiful to watch, I know people expected to see the dancing horses of the carousel but if you just sat back and used your imagination you would get it, I loved every minute of this production from the first notes of the instruments to the last bow, well done to you all and thank you for the experience!.

I've seen this show a few times now at the Savoy, and would absolutely recommend it. Jeremiah James is perfect as Billy, and the entire company have been flawless each time I have seen the show. Granted, the venue isn't the nicest theatre in London, but the show more than makes up for this. See it! Enjoy it!

What a glorious show. Simply amazing performances by a hugely talented cast. Although, understanably, Lesley Garrat had top billing Jeremiah James simply had me spellbound. Such an enormous talent; playing the role of Billy Bigelow. equally thrilling was the lovely Alexandra Silber as Julie Jordan. I am amazed that I appear to be the first person to write a review of this production as it received a standing ovation from most of a sadly depleted house. It really deserves to be nominated as the Best Musical of 2008. As for Adam Cooper's choreography...... simply breathtaking. Well done to a fabulous cast .. I WILL BE BACK !!!!

Lesley Garret was appearing the night I saw this excellent production. So were Jeremiah James and Alexandra Sibert. All three - indeed the whole cast - sang their hearts out. This was an emotional performance both in the acting and the spectating. This was a birthday present from my wife. I shan't forget it. The star rating when I viewed it just before making this entry, was 2.8. What a shame noisy audience members and the absence of a star have reduced the rating from its rightful high star rating. I could watch this again.

I have seen the show 3 times and it gets better each time,i agree there are a couple of occasions where the dialogue drags plus the seats are uncomfortable.The excellent cast make up for this and bring the songs to life there are some talented people on that stage.

A strangely dark production. All the leads were very good and it’s hard to go wrong with those terrific songs. For me, it was written in the 40s, so why try to bring twenty-first century attitudes to it? The big numbers, like ‘June is bustin’ out’ never quite got going nor gave me the spine tingle. But the open air theatre is always a joy and I loved the brass band bit.
