FAIRYTALE OF NY AT WIMBLEDON

I would have given zero star but couldn’t! The worst show i have ever been to. Music too loud so couldn’t hear the singing - turns out that was a bonus. Dancing very basic - nothing very technical about it- seen loads better at a feis. Upstairs couldn’t hear at all.A clear light was blinding as it came round- think it should have been a colour- had to hold head down to avoid it. Hate the fake irish accent especially! Extremely poor show which needs to be withdrawn from public display immediately & anyone who had the misfortune to go should be refunded! School productions far superior to this poor excuse of a show. Seven drunken nights production team were promoting this show so would have expected a similar standard. I along with others left in the interval which was extended as they tried to sort out the sound! Spoke to a couple of people who stayed for second half & they said it was just as bad & they were sorry didn’t leave. I have never heard so many negative comments about any show ever!

KARAOKE SINGING AT ITS WORST

One of the worst shows I have sat through . Very amateurish. They sang famous Christmas Songs and ruined them !! Lots of people left during the interval . Wish I had !!!,

MORE LIKE A SCHOOL PRODUCTION

The show was a huge letdown. Nothing to do with fairy tale of New York, no storyline, just back to back cover songs which weren’t done very well. The dancers were good but the set was underwhelming, poor production. Overall just didn’t stand up to professional stage quality. The show title is misleading. I saw seven drunken nights and it was amazing. This show just didn’t hit the mark. It’s not even worthy of being called a show. It’s a group of average singers singing cover songs the whole way through. People left at the interval. Anyone who’s used to seeing proper musical shows will be massively disappointed.

APPALLING

This show is appalling and should be renamed an Irish Christmas sing a song that has nothing to do with New York. Left in half time, tickets were £37 and a complete waste of money. I would normally recommend the Milton Keynes theatre for the shows, but think something went wrong this time, awful singing, awful dancing and absolutely mind numbingly boring . Watching paint dry was more interesting

BRUTAL

Well what can I say , I was in desperate need of some cheering up after learning about the closing of my favourite restaurant , Deanes at the start of the week and I foolishly believed this show would provide some much needed escapism. How naive I was, this show is the equivalent to auditory abuse how it has sold ANY tickets is beyond me. The vocals are pitchy, the dancing is cringeworthy and the tin whistle seems to only produce sounds I imagine greet you as you enter hell. To sum it up don’t go

BRUTAL

I was in much need of a cheering up after my favourite restaurant Deanes announced its closure at the start of the week , I thought this show would provide some much needed relief. How wrong was I. This was painful to watch, the vocals were pitchy, the dancing was cringeworthy and the tin whistle spouted sounds I only imagine you hear when entering hell. To sum it up don’t go.
