Despite the initial disappointment of Steve Coogan’s cancellation we thoroughly enjoyed the performance by the great cast.
Disappointing seats for £90’, Couldn’t really see the screen when used.
Really enjoyed the play. Had hoped to see Steve Coogan play the main parts but he had lost his voice. Had been waiting ages to see him. Too late to re book as he finishes in two days time. So sad and disappointed.
Excellent production, just wish it was cheaper.
Very Expensive experience as Steve Coogan did not appear!
Clever & Witty; Steve Coogan is amazing!
4 stars for Theatre not play or cast. I was disappointed with them for leaving it so late in the day (minutes before the play) to let us know that Steve C. had lost his voice (this doesn't happen in minutes, you would have known earlier). It was too late to cancel as we were on our way, and we are glad we did! Some of us were seeing the play for the second time, and to be honest we found Ben Deery did a far better job, you should keep him in the role for sure! Well done Ben, excellent performance! LTD try to let people know sooner... Otherwise, good theatre, fab play.
Easy booking process and fantastic customer service. Steve Coogan lost his voice and was unavailable for 2 bookings I had on subsequent nights and the staff at Theatre Direct were able to sort out moving both bookings to later easily and efficiently. Well done! (The show's great as well :-)
Great show, subtly brought up to date where appropriate. I loved the sets, very effective.
Great production. Very pertinent with all the changes internationally. V faithful to original film with some updates too. Stand in for Steve Coogan was brilliant.
It was a great production - and Coogan's understudy did a super job. Bravo!
A truly exceptional performance of the play.
