THE COMMITMENTS

So excited beforehand & so deflated when we left.... :-( Sorry but the cast are good but underwhelming. Where's 'a star?' And just too young & inexperienced cast. Strong voices from all :-)

DISAPPOINTING

Slow to start, the dialogue from the film didn’t transfer well to this production. Was really looking forward to this show and felt underwhelmed by it. First half was tragic, 2nd slightly better I think….😕

THE COMMITMENTS BRISTOL SHOW - BEWARE! NOT LIKE THE FILM!

Good performance but if your a big fan of the film it might disappoint! Didn't understand why they had a man undress in front of the curtain half way through the show, like a strip tease?? and the big songs were missed from the last big scene???? The show then finished and the curtains dropped, only to have someone come out (like a pantomime) asking the audience if they want more???? And then they sang the big songs as if they just generally performing and not in a show? If your aware of this then maybe it will not disappoint?! But I was disappointed!

TONIGHT IN LIVERPOOL

Sound quality was really poor in the 1st half. Felt dated and wished I’d stayed at home and watched the film. End medley saved the day …. But only just.

1.0 star rating Harriet from Liverpool,

DISAPPOINTING

Couldn’t hear the cast speaking through most of it. First half was awful and second half not much better. I was glad we hadn’t bought the tickets as a lot of money to lose. I came out at the end not knowing what the plot was about and had to have a look. We noticed that people did leave part way though. Only good thing was the cast could sing and some very powerful voices.
