Touching story full of great performances. Didn’t like the way music was incorporated in the show, would be much better as a playRead more →

Joanna Crispin

Brilliant script and concept - great characters and first-rate acting in a heart-warming multi-generational storyRead more →

Freddie Shere

Will remember the dread in the spectacular ending to the first act for a while… the music integration was a bit jarring but I came round by the endRead more →

Great to see original British musical theatre at the NT. Clever use of the overlapping narrative form, but novelty wore off as the lo(oooo)ng production went on. Show reached its peak in Act 1Read more →

3.50 stars. Saw this a couple of times at the National Theatre and loved it. West End transfer has seen a few cast changes, different theatre space and slightly different audience. I still enjoyed it but felt it had lost a little bit of the energy and vibrancy of it’s National runRead more →

Absolutely looved it! I really enjoyed the music and the unique way they’ve incorporated it in the story - despite reading the opposite from a few other reviews. Unique, fresh, clever, beautiful staging and a talented cast. Definitely worth a watch!Read more →

A musical like no other! Loved the music. Engaging, unique and a must-seeRead more →

Stuart King

Set on the once notorious Park Hill Housing Estate in Sheffield, this wonderful musical production is the very essence of community spirit, requiring a dynamic creative group effort during its development stages to reach fruition. The result is a show which literally shines bright at every performance.Read more →

Christina Andersen

I specially liked open the door and the scene where all the generations were togetherRead more →

Gill Manning

Thought provoking, wonderful performances, clever script. Gladly I didn’t predict the ending, so kept me on the edge of my seat until the final number.Read more →

Fiona McKenzie

Beautiful deep and emotional theatre about life, hope, home and place. There is an imbalance between the incredible depth and pace of the dialogue and the songs that hold the audience in place for a time. I spent the interval wondering what to make of it but it had thoroughly got under my skin by the end. Superb cast. Would recommend and see again.Read more →
