unfortunately didn't work for me. didn't live up to its potential and felt like 'rock' musical was false advertising.

Saw this show tonight, amazing vocal performance by the whole cast and jokes that went down well with the audience. The show is publicised as being musical theatre, rock. Yes it's very musical theatre but sadly lacking on the rock front which was our main reason for attending so a bit disappointed on that front.

Interesting performance, clearly a lot of effort had gone into it's production. The jokes didn't always seem to land but I still thought the show had a lot to offer and certainly didn't want for passion - in particular the performances from the actors playing Knox and Burke were of particular highlight.

A comic turn on notorious serial killers may rub some up the wrong way and I understand. However the show is highly thought provoking in its examination of how certain people can not only justify but normalise absolutely horrific acts. All performances were excellent

This show was excellent! It was based on an interesting subject matter and the songs were great! Would recommend seeing this show!
