WHAT A SHOW!

Having read reviews on this page me and my wife were worried, being a musician and long time lover of Irish music we took our seats with a deep breath wondering what on earth we were about to see. How wrong we were to be worried, my one comment was I’m pretty sure nobody knew the opening number of the show which gave the illusion of a musical however I am glad it diverted after that … by the end of Galway girl I was in heaven. The musicians were great fun and brought great energy and the dancers were fantastic. The set was basic but the lighting effects made up for this having watched lots of shows at the Hexagon the technical elements are often left lacking but the lighting in tune with the dancing and I am struggling to see how anyone below can comment on the sound negatively it was so clear and lively. I know it’s good when my foot is tapping throughout and I’m singing along. The opening number left me concerned but by the end I was overjoyed and even a little emotional.

WOW

I didn’t watch the show but I spoke to my nan after the show that she had watched and she was so happy she has had it hard in recent times and she said she has never felt so alive apparently one of the cast spoke with her after the show in a very respectful and kind manor and I can’t thank him enough. Thank you for bringing so much joy to my vulnerable but beautiful grandmother

EXCELLENT CELEBRATION OF IRISH CHRISTMAS

Loved the show - the theatre was packed with an audience who loved the format - the singing was fine although one of the caste couldn't take part owing to illness. and the dancing was excellent - real authentic Irish dance. The lighting and effects were fine - the only criticism was the sound - we were in the side circle and the spoken word was so distorted that we couldn't understand what was being said.understand what was being said.

BRILLIANT SHOW

We went to the 2.30 matinee. A show full of energy, great music, great songs, great dancing. So much enthusiasm from the performers who worked so hard to give the audience a brilliant couple of uplifting hours. Lots of opportunities for audience participation during the Irish songs and festive songs and everyone was up dancing at the end - which came all too quickly. A perfect start to the festive season.
