it certainly wasn`t during the era this is set, therefore is used unnecessarily"

Fantastic performance by all. Lovely theatre too. Couldn`t have been better, excellent singing and acting, very clear, felt so close to it all, we were in row R, brilliant seats, nice to be in a proper theatre, so much nicer than the arenas we get used to in Manchester/Liverpool. Didn`t realise i would know so many of the songs as a something. Well worth the cost"
