For new and upcoming Writers, Directors & Producers to start off with a new show at Charing Cross Theatre must of been very nervous for them all so I must say what a great job they did & look forward to any more shows you offer us in the future. I think the show was performed very well with all the cast giving strong performances especially the leads Grim, Cupid, Amelia & Mathew I wish you all the best for your future careers. The music was brilliant too set the scenes well very powerful. I am sure like any show that is new there will be changes as there are still with long running shows in the West End to improve them so I am sure this will come on a long way if given the opportunity deserved. I would recommend viewing of this show as I enjoyed it very much. Good luck for the rest of the month with your performances

Great Cast and Score, lacking Script

This set-up certainly has the potential for a spell-binding musical, and fortunately this expectation is reached and surpassed. Although the script, written by Fiona O'Malley, may be a bit lacking with some fundamental plot flaws, such as a modern day school wanting to burn their peer at the stake, the cast are well-worth their place on the West-End. The music is superb, written by Joseph Alexander, and is certainly worthy of an iTunes download. One particular song "Beware of Grim", sung with power and dominance by Kathryn Rutherford as Cherry and Rhiannon Drake as Sabrina has persevered to stay in my head. A song which the titular character Grim, played by Roseanna Christoforou sung, "Because I am Evil" was delivered with sinister grace along with an echo of Elphaba. Her love interest, Cupid, played by Anthony Matteo, also gave a strong performance. Supporting actress Georgi Mottram, who played Amelia, gave a comedic touch to what is a musical (but not a well-written) masterpiece!

Talented actors but could not stand the musical

Unfortunately the Charing cross after a streak of starting to produce some good shows that people want to like Lost Boys, Finnians Rainbow, Ushers it has fell back into that habit of bringing crap to the west end stage. I much preferred Wag the musical!
