This was brilliant&Broadway standard, as implied. Kelli O'Hara amazing as Anna (didn't think anyone could match Deborah Kerr, but she pretty much did)&Ken Watanabe surprisingly delightful as the King. The Palladium is a theatre that seems always to be cursed with loud audiences, which isn't the show's fault, obviously, but some scenes were spoilt for me i.e. Shall We Dance when people started clapping along. Stop! Some accents were a little shaky&i'm never keen on Dean John-Wilson's singing sharp, but otherwise pretty bulletproof&really enjoyed, despite chatting/phones/rustling 🐘Read more →

Majestic production Remember seeing Yul Bryne at the Palladium many years ago and the great Elaine Page twenty years ago both in excellent productions but this is the best production I have seen and the two leads are real stars. Doubt if you will see a better production of this musicalRead more →

Terrific to reacquaint oneself with this musical that could be cloying but comes up bandbox fresh. It is simply staged and contains enough gorgeously cute children to go ‘aaah’ for a month. It does contain wonderful central performances especially from the marvellous Kelli O’Hara and Ken Watanabe as well. Amongst the well known singalong tunes like ‘whistle a happy tune’ and ‘shall we dance’, it also springs a surprise with ‘Something Wonderful’, one of Rogers and Hammerstein’s greatest songs. Highly recommended.Read more →
