Newest Review: ... succeed. 20 of us arrived at the Opera House in Manchester to see this full of anticipation and excitement. I was glad to see that the stage production was in the same vein as the recorded video by virtue of having the same director in Gale Edwards. The stage consisted of a two tier walkway, separated by a platform that moved from the s ... more
