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 →

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 →

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 →

There were many things to like about this story of a notorious Sheffield 1960’s concrete high rise. The characters are winning and the multiple time zones seem a little contrived at the start but the overlap of the occupiers of the flat comes together nicely. The big drawback for me were the endless soulful ballads which did not progress the action in any way. Particularly later in what is a long evening one wanted to say. “Not another song - please, get on with the story”.Read more →

Went in blind and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was heartwarming, sad and exciting. The music was beautiful and I loved the plot, jumping around between decades was exciting and I loved how it flowed together.Read more →

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 →

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 →
