GREAT SHOW
Great show, very spectacular but agree do not buy tickets for balcony. My legs were numb by the end of the show.

DON'T BUY TICKETS IN THE BALCONY!!
Well, the show itself was excellent - everything you'd expect it to be. but a word of warning - DO NOT buy tickets for the balcony as you'll miss half the action! "Restricted view" doesn't cover it really!! Most of the action takes place at the very front of the stage - but you simply can't see it from the balcony seats (unless, I guess, you're on the very front row). Spend a bit more and get decent seats...

CANCELLED HALF WAY THROUGH!!!!!!
I can only give this 2.5 stars because I only got to see half of it!!! The show was cancelled after the interval without explanation; we think the bus broke - apparently this has happened before and if you are at the matinee as we were they chuck you out so they can fix it for the evening performance!!! Priscilla = great show, Palace Theatre = poor show!!!

GREAT DANCING BUT POOR DIALOGUE DELIVERY
Having seen the show some years ago in London I was really looking forward to it. I also know the film very well. Unfortunately the quality of the set was poor, and the delivery of the dialogue was as if the actors were reading it from the script. There was little continuity in the delivery so the impact of the jokes was lost, they just seemed crude. The sound quality was poor in that the orchestra completely obliterated the main leads. The three backing singers were very good and the dancers well rehearsed, the choreography was great. It was the main parts dialogue delivery that let the show down.
Luis from London
NOT IMPRESSED
I have to confess I went thinking to watch a West End production and I got really disappointed. The whole show seemed to me a wannabe despite the cast’s efforts. Don’t get me wrong, the public clapped, danced and sang. However I felt I wasted my time and money. If you expect to watch a big production, this one seems like a cheap Xmas panto.
