  Excellent show brilliantly cast! Set and props were so well used and thought out. We loved the book and the film but were not sure how it would carry on stage. Far surpassed expectations! Would watch again!

• Catch it while you can

  I booked this without knowing anything about it (my friend had read the book) so had no idea what to expect. I'm so glad I took a chance - it's a beautiful show, wonderful cast and full of laughter and tears. We sat in the upper circle and the view was fabulous. Highly recommended.

  Outstanding performance of Harold Fry, very moving, beautiful singing, seamless choreography, all the cast were top class. Not a dry eye in the house, the songs and music were truly top class! Loved it from start to finish! Well done all 💕

  Our daughter bought us tickets for this show for Christmas, knowing that we had enjoyed the book and film. We were not sure how it would adapt to the stage but were very pleased. Excellent songs were accompanied with wonderful performances for a very well chosen cast. If you are looking for an enjoyable new musical, book now!

• This could be the best West End theatre experience of your year.

  Yesterday was a challenging day for myself and my wonderful daughter Sophie who not long 18, has been my primary carer for the best part of 3 years. I had an important meeting with my neurosurgeon following a procedure back in December and she came with me to help with my memory issues and to be there for me. The meeting was long and could not have gone much worse despite my expectations and knowledge that further 'corrective' surgery was required. Leaving somewhat bewildered just after 10am, I asked my daughter to see if we could find an interesting play to see while we were in London. I mentioned I had seen an interesting review in The Times a few days earlier about Harold Fry. We got rush tickets in a brilliant location in the stalls and we were both blown away by what unfolded in front of us. Before venturing to see the show I thought I might as well run up a massive bill on my credit card so took her for a lovely meal in Clos Maggiore in Covent Garden, a destination restaurant I had spent some decades finding the time to visit. The staff there seemed to have a sixth sense and treated us wonderfully well, even giving us free boxes of chocolates as we departed. The London Theatre was one I hadn't visited before and is tricky if, like me, your knees are shot and steps are an issue. The seats had good leg room, however, and I loved the patina of the decor inside - I hope they leave it as long as they can before they mess with it because it exudes authenticity. Authenticity was a big factor in the success and enjoyment of the play. There was a great balance between the spoken word and the songs. The storyline resonated perfectly with my my daughter and me , especially given our elevated emotional state. The quality of acting, singing and ensemble work was excellent and the principal actors were brilliantly cast. Much promise too for many of the ensemble. I loved the puppetry with the dog and the actors playing David, Harold and Maureen had great stage presence. I must be honest in saying it was a difficult and emotional watch for me given the bad news I had received just a few hours earlier, but it was not just me that was crying, everyone around us was crying and the packed audience rewarded the performers with a standing ovation that was truly deserved. I see a lot of theatre but very rarely do I see everyone in the audience standing and applauding like that. I have other shows and gigs I need to do before I go, but I would recommend this show to anyone who appreciates something a bit different with a great story line that never strayed into sentimentality. I truly hope this show attracts the audience it deserves and has a long and successful run. It was definitely better than the woke and cliched Hadestown and although very different, more rewarding than the very funny and highly entertaining Book of Mormon. It will be interesting to see if Hamilton can one-up it this evening.
