Fairytale of New York Reviews

VERY AVERAGE

Sound terrible and an extra long interval for the sound engineers to try to fix it. No apologies. Rather same throughout no story line just Christmas songs and Irish songs and dancing

LW of Fleet from Woking, England

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

The soprano was flat. The female instrumentalist looked bored and didn’t cope well when there were sound issues. Dresses didn’t seem to fit all. Lots of people left at the interval. Might have been better after a few drinks and during advent but not on Remembrance Day.

DISAPPOINTED

Attended last night in Woking theatre, and left during the interval as did many others! Was expecting a show not just singing and dancing! The set was very poor and the video in the background was on a loop. Was really hoping for a Christmas show including singing and dancing but there was no show! Shame on you, the people advertising this event. We should have our money back.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

I feel this was portrayed to be some Christmas magical fairy tale , sadly it was nothing like it , no story , just a group of irish singers and dancers . Feel cheated and all my group of 12 said it was not what they expected . quite a few people in close proximity to me left in the interval and did not return .

VERY POOR

Saw this in Cardiff again sound not great but singers and musicianship are poor. Dancers weee good. Overall it’s a very underwhelming performance and a lot of songs butchered

NO STORYLINE, JUST SINGING AND DANCING AND BASIC PRODUCTION VALUES

The production values were super basic and the outfits looked like they were from Shein or Alibaba. If you're actually Irish give it a miss as it's really put on for "OIRISH" who have a stereotyped idea about the old country. The show would probably go over better in the US for this reason. I saw it at the Dominion in London and the lighting was awful. No spotlights on the performers and the best bit - the Irish dancing - couldn't be properly heard as there were only 2 mics on the floor to pick up the tapping. I paid £37.50 a ticket which isn't bad for the West End, but this isn't a WE quality show. I'd say it was worth <£20 per ticket as long as you know you're just going to see singing and dancing and no plot. The set was also cheap looking and amateur. If you've already bought tickets my best advice is make sure you get well oiled at the bar beforehand and then you might have a bit of a laugh. Best bit was the spontaneous breakouts of Irish rebel songs in the bar at the interval.

LEFT AT THE INTERVAL

I have never before left in the interval but this was just boring and I fell asleep in the last song before the interval. Great if you like Irish dancing but thats about it.
