This had some fun, promising content but at £16 for less than 30 minutes, this is quite possibly the most expensive show at the fringe and honestly kind of a rip off when the stated run time is an hour.
Probably wouldn't have booked if they'd been honest about the length of the show

Some very funny and well performed songs delivered by the cast of 6, with the warning about very strong language being totally relevant (which I don’t mind). If you’re worried about the sexual nature warning, there’s no need to be as it doesn’t exist !
My main problem with this show was for a cost of £16/£15 I expect more than 35 minutes entertainment, where if you didn’t know the film then you’ll need to read up on it to see how it is meant to be.
Many in the audience seemed to lap it up, but for me a disappointing end to a day

UPDATE: I checked the other reviews for this show for several days after we saw the show (where many shared similar experience of being "shortchanged" with a 30-minute show) and noticed that the duration had been "magically changed" from 1 hour to 45 minutes!!! If this is an attempt to cover up the original misrepresentation then this is highly unethical and this company should not be allowed to perform at the Fringe in future!
If this new musical is going to be a success, then the shows needs to start on time and it needs to deliver what it promises.
1. The show started 15 minutes late.
2. The "sneak peek" turned out to be a 1st reading of the musical score so it was just 5 cast members and the writer singing a song each and 2 chorus. They should not have called this a "sneak preview" as we were expecting some scenes to be acted out and not 6 people singing a few songs.
3. The entire "sneak preview" lasted a whole 30 minutes!!! Nowhere near an hour as advertised.
The songs and lyrics were entertaining, and the cast had great voices, but we think there needs to be a minimum level of professionalism in delivering what you are advertising.
We would NOT have seen the show if it correctly stated that:
1. It was a 1st reading (no acting, just singing a handful of songs).
3. It was a 30-minute show.

5 stars!! Feel honoured to be one of the first to see a preview of this show. Such funny, catchy songs and very talented cast. The writer is so talented. The audience loved it - definitely go see this if you get the chance and look out for it when it's a full musical - we can't wait!!
