Fairytale of New York Reviews
Des from Oxford
EMBARRASSING
Disjointed, poor singing and ridiculous mime instrument playing. Cheesy, just a random run of any song with Christmas in the title. Only the dancers got our applause. Avoid.
Anita wiseman from Stockton,
FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK
I am in total agreement with majority of people in Birmingham. It was an amateur production on a shoe string. Karaoke I expected better for £30
Keeley from York,
SHOCKING!
Just a waste of money and an evening. Agree with all complaints. Dreadful.
Margaret from Glasgow
A TRAVESTY
Saw this in Glasgow. Had high expectations having seen Seven Drunken Nights. Recorded music, average singers, dancers efficient. 'Driving Home for Christmas' will never be the same again. A cynical exercise in getting money for anything with the word 'Irish' attached to it. An amateurish, twee, cringing experience. The Saturday night Val Doonican TV shows of my childhood was nightmarishly playing out in front of me. Would be loved in an old people's residential home. We left early
Al from Bournemouth
ABSOLUTELY SHATTERED
I can't believe my wife paid for this show as they should have paid for me to attend. At best a high school production and definitely not close to any standard London west end show. First time ever, I left at interval. We traveled far to see this and were very disappointed.
Susan from Manchester, England
TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE
Tickets mis-sold this is not a show based on Fairytale of New York, but a group of singers and dancers singing a combination of Irish songs and Christmas carols. Beyond awful, set awful, sound system was appalling! Amount of people leaving at half time and number of poor reviews this should be refunded. I have attended better school plays so disappointing! Screen behind stage seems like an advert for Irish Tourist Board.

SO DISAPPOINTING
I don't know where to start .... it was so loud and tinny painful on the ears ! The lights were blinding when. Turned onto the audience. As for the get up of the musicians shocking ... a false inaccurate portrayal of Irish people! The singing was horrendous more shouting than singing ... a serious lack of talent ... it wasn't a concert but a cross over between Cabaret and a very poor musical ... we subsequently left half way through .... very disappointing!!
