An Afternoon with the Ladies of the Cliff Richard Fan Club, Sutton Coldfield, 1995

5 stars from me, I loved it. Its about the power of music to give us joy and support us through troubled times. Also about the importance of women's friendships.

Undemanding hour with ladies of a certain age. Got a badge!

Yes!Yes!Yes! What a great feel good show! I think I might be a ‘Cliffette’ at heart- never knew he did so many good songs- but might not be tempted to do ‘cheesy bananas’

Really enjoyed their enthusiasm and adoration of Cliff but as an Elton John fanatic I was dreading being asked my favourite Cliff hit in case I gave one of Elton’s! A fun show that kept us amused. Well done ladies

As an American I was only vaguely aware of just how big Cliff Richard was. In the 1980s "Devil Woman" was my first exposure and the most memorable.

However, as with any dramatic endeavor, the plot is merely the idea around which all the characters, action, emotion revolves. This is about Cliff Richard as much as Titanic was about a ship. This is a warm hearted character study about a group of women who bond over their shared love of a pop star. But the heart of the story is about the relationships the women have between themselves, between their individual families, and between each other.

As each of us has popular music as the soundtrack of our lives, this well acted and heartwarming story reminds us that even though we might never see or meet our pop star heroes, the fact that we share the experience of hearing the same music at the same point in our lives, is enough to bring us together.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. And who knew bananas with cheese could be so tasty?

An utter joy - a really welcoming experience as we explore the lives of five women brought together by their love of Cliff, we were as much a part of the show as the (wonderful) actors themselves, whilst never being “in your face”.

It explores some pretty deep themes, all of whilst are handled lightly and sensitively both by the actors and the writer.

A really enjoyable experience.

I went with a fringe friend to this show looking for a trip down memory lane and quite looking forward to joining in. The obviously forced jollity of the actors set the tone for the rest of the show and the audience struggled to respond. The idea was good but unfortunately the execution was poor.

I was at the preview of this show and hope it gained a more enthusiastic audience after that.
Ther was music, facts and memorabilia as the characters highlighted their love of Cliff. They also display how friendships of people with similar interest can grow, then how those friends support each other.
Be prepared to sing along and maybe be tempted by the unusual nibbles.
