Fairytale of New York Reviews
from Milton Keynes, England
POOR SHOW
Agree with all of the comments a very poor show, we left during the interval. It felt very amateurish and it was certainly not what I was expecting. No storyline or planned order of songs. I did not feel Christmassy at all when I left, a very flat show!

FAIRY TALE OF NEW YORK
Just seen this in York. Agree with you all. It was dire and we left at the interval. How it’s still allowed to be shown is beyond me!!! I’ve never left a show before and was throughly disappointed and shocked. I knew after the second song we’d been conned!

TERRIBLE
Terrible show! Don’t bother wasting your money. No story line, falsely advertised. Left at the interval
Maria DAgostino from Milton Keynes, England
LEFT AT INTERVAL
I was so disappointed no story line didn't know really what was going on, poor sound quality and was so loud left my ears ringing. Performance very amateurish definitely not value for money, we party of 3 left at interval like so many others. Did make a comment to Supervisor on way out but felt like they weren't that interested

FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK
Boring, dancers should stick to dancing, not singing. Issues with volume downing out what was being sung, lighting glaring into audience. Seen better school plays. Wished I hadn't wasted my time and money going to see this. If I had been on the end of an aisle I would have walked out after 15 minutes. As it was I left in the interval.

SHOCKING AMATEUR JUMBLE OF RUBBISH
Awful - cheap scenery, terrible Irish dancing which consisted of ladies moving their arms about, out of tune singers, ludicrously incoherent PowerPoint playing in the background with no relation to what was on stage, phony Irish accent of the cheesy lead character and just a mishmash of Christmas songs intertwined with some Irish songs with no story line at all. If I had paid £5 to see it at a labour club I’d have said it was an ok craic but for the money we paid we were ripped off. We bought it on the back of the seven drunken nights show about the Dubliners which was fantastic and were expecting more of the same but it was not a patch on that. Best part about it was the interval (during which half the theatre left)

RUBBISH FAIRY TALE OF NEW YORK.
What can I say!! A waste of money and time. I work in a school and my children could have done a better performance. The stage setting was terrible. No story, no fun. Just song after song. The singing was not that great. Money should be given back. We also left in the interval as it was so bad!
