Fairytale of New York Reviews
CB from Oxford,
NOT VERY GOOD
Left at the interval. Just dancing and singing , would maybe enjoy it more if Irish as lots of Irish dancing and songs. Waste of money, didn’t enjoy it at all. Set not very inspiring.
Clare Toland from Birmingham,
AWFUL JOKE OF A SHOW
This has to be the worst show I have ever seen. Watched it at Derby Arena last night and I have never laughed so much at the spectacle I witnessed! Miming over songs, pretending to play instruments, not to mention the completely different cast compared to the one advertised to sell the tickets! Fake Irish accent of the main singer, all in all an absolute joke of a show that plays on people's want to cling onto Irishness! Shocking 'Irish' dancers...a complete amateur show if I ever seen one! Felt like a year 6 school performance! They certainly took the money and ran! Average singers and cringey moments to allow for crowd participation of a crowd that would rather be gauging their eyes out than watching this show!! Give or take a handful of people that so desperately wanted to Irish they would applaud a turd. I will remember this show for the rest of my life...holding a guitar and strumming it while not changing notes, fake tin whistling, electric guitar notes coming from an acoustic guitar!! Honestly, if you want a laugh please attend, but just know you will be wasting a few hours of your time you will never get back!! Wish there was a better place to leave a review rather than on a Birmingham site as I feel like the paid reviews from this show from 2 years ago do not reflect what I saw and I would like people to save their money! I don't know what else to say!
RP from Birmingham,
RUBBISH
So bad it was funny
Elsie from Liverpool,
UNINSPIRING
Set not very good and agree with other reviews boring
Lauren H from Liverpool,
(ALSO) AT THE INTERVAL
My group, along with others, left at the interval as this show was so dull and lifeless. The performers were all talented in their own right however the show itself was baaad.
Yohann from Liverpool,
LEFT HALF WAY THROUGH
Basically just peoples singing Christmas songs, it would have been “ok” for a school show made by kids but not for a theater. Save your time and money and ask your Alexa “ play some Christmas songs “
LM from Liverpool,
TERRIBLE
. very amateur, like being at a school Christmas concert, I was expecting a storyline with songs, but it was just Christmas songs.. left at the interval Waste of money.
