We attended the Opening Night and were blown away by the outstanding level of production. The West End had arrived in Northampton. The set design was stunning with mesmerising lighting to match. The entire cast were absolutely fantastic at delivering this much loved musical. The show was very well received and in turn ended to a standing ovation from the audience. This show truly has something for everyone, a perfect show for the whole family to enjoy.
