Fairytale of New York Reviews

Bridget from London, England

IS IT A MUSICAL,IS IT A SINGLONG,WHAT IS IT?

I had high hopes for this production,combination of Christmas and Ireland,what more could you want? Well in my opinion, a storyline would be good ,failing that some continunity,fast,slow,dance and repeat. Felt so disappointed

Pat Hodges from Birmingham,

DISAPPOINTING

Not worth the money. Costumes were terrible did not fit some cast members, random costume additions. Same stage set throughout which was also very poor. So disappointed thought this would get us into festive spirit , absolutely no chance. Could not understand most of dialogue dancing was OK but same all the time. Would have left at interval but member of group thought 2nd half maybe better. Unfortunately, it was not. Has to be worst show I've ever seen at The Alexander Birmingham. The price paid by patrons was not reflected in product.

Keeley from York,

SHOCKING

Oh dear! I was so gutted. From the opening they were out of tune, it seemed rushed, and so disjointed! Couldn’t hear the words. Dancers mediocre - but pretty. It was not a musical but a gig! And a quiet gig. I couldn’t believe how many people were leaving - we left too! Never witnessed that before at anything I’ve been to.

FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK IN OXFORD

This has to be the worst show we have ever seen in our lives. Singers singing to diabolical backing tracks. Musicianship non existent. It was like spending 2 hours at my eight year old granddaughters Nativity play without the feeling of pride but equally as cringy. There should be a legal suit for misrepresentation (Fairy-tale of New York?) more like Nightmare in Oxford.!!!! Complete waste of money for cheap entertainment. There are plenty of quality musicians and singers in Oxfordshire that could have put on a much better show than this and would have been happy with a few pints and a couple of quid in their pockets. The one star is for the dancers.

Julie Eason from Derby

DIRE

Attended Nottingham production last night. I couldn't believe how bad it was. The sound quality was appalling. There was no structure to the show. It was like an advert for the Irish Tourist Board. The singers on the whole were poor. The dancers could dance but far too many repetitions. A waste of an evening and too expensive for what it was. I felt cheated.

Matt from Oxford

LIKE A HOLIDAY CAMP SHOW BUT WORSE

Saw this at Oxford and it was pretty dire. Amateur night at the local pub more than a professional show. Would have been booed off at a holiday camp. Sound balance dreadful with voices drowned by the prerecorded track, couldn't make out the words, no story, definitely not a fairytail.

S Wilson from Nottingham

DISAPPOINTED NOV 2023

The production was terrible. The cast were not the same as in the advertised trailer. Missed the old guy sorry don’t know his name. Very nearly left at the interval. The female singers and Irish dancers were good. The show was late starting and the interval was 10 minutes longer than advertised. Felt like they didn’t want to be there.
