VERY POOR

Very amateur performance. False accents. Poor singing generally.

VERY POOR

How did they get this so wrong?! At least make the costumes fit the cast and run an iron over the girl’s dresses before the show. These are the least of the problems. There is no story telling at all. It’s as if they haven’t understood the formula of what made seven drunken nights work.

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

Worst show I've ever seen! Lots of people left at the interval, including us! Waste of money, and time!

APPALLING

I was lost for words- the worst show I've ever seen. Amateurish performance by a student cast who could not sing and dancers who could not dance. I've seen better productions at my local college. No story line - Fairytale? What Fairytale? A cast of three boys and eight girls simply alternate between rying to sing a song, a Christmas or Irish number and prancing around the stage. How can the Alex theatre be associated with this appalling production and cast. They should be refunding customers the £32. I couldn't wait until the interval so I could leave, as did many others! I'm struggling to give it one star.

WORST SHOW EVER SEEN!

I just can't even find the words to explain how deflated myself and party felt after seeing this tonight. Awful so amateur and flat. Nothing like advertised. I'm surprised and disappointed at The Alex theatre for even hosting and charging for this show. I feel I'm not alone with the many negative reviews. Not sure quite what went wrong!?

WORST SHOW WE’VE EVER SEEN!

We walked out at the interval but could have left after first 15 mins! Have seen better performances at local village hall Singing was off key Dancing was ok but mediocre Set was what you would expect at a school performance Complete waste of money House was packed so somebody made a killing Alexandra theatre should give full refunds if they want future customers

FALSE ADVERTISING

Where was the fairy tale as advertised ? We watched this at Kings Lynn and it’s really a melody of songs, inaudible because the sound was so loud and the main lead male almost screams when both singing and talking, The bright lighting was all wrong, it shone dazzling bright into our eyes. The dancers, female singer who sang “Holy Night” and female violinist were good, maybe leave the show to them and take the three males out of it because their performance is so cringe worthy.
