Excellent show, laughed till tears were rolling down my cheeks. Excellent performance from ALL the cast but Al Murray stole the show.

We were not familiar with this comedic genius of Al Murray, as we are visiting the United States. The show was fabulous!!!! I haven’t laughed so hard in years! Bravo for a brilliant performance Mr. Murray!

I came with great expectation having seen interviews.. the historical story and great comedic actors .. however my party found it boring ..the ad lib audience interaction was picking out people on the audience and asking their name where they lived and what they did .. not funny and boring The acting was lame mumbled and generally poor timing ( I appreciate it was a farce and tongue in cheek !) No one was laughing I am surprised Whst a shame We left in the interval msybe the second act was amazing!

Whilst I was expecting comedy I was expecting a more refined show. The lines by Captain Blood were muffled and too fast in the first act and the plot was lost because of it. There was some excellent acting and fine touches but overall was more Pantomime than I was expecting. Mel was excellent.

No Al Murray at the matinee which was a shame. Cover actor did a cracking job but would have liked to see Al. Otherwise excellent but not for younger children as lots of innuendo etc.

I agree not suitable for under twelves both because some of the language is 'funny' sexually explicit and many of the sexual innuendos would go over their heads (mind you I'm late 70's so what do I know). I enjoyed it.

With such a fabulous cast I thought I would enjoy this show. Unfortunately, I did not! Although funny in parts I found the comedy quite puerile. I expected better.

The whole cast are fabulous. The interaction with the ‘court’ is very funny. I had to come back to watch it again! Our seats were great value for money. Would highly recommend this show and theatre as it is not as big as others so no endless flights of stairs to climb! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of laughing, and fun to see, but not much substance to the plot. So a serious theatre goer would not be impressed, but the average person would enjoy a good laugh. More lewd than expected, so don't take children too young, and not for the prudish.

Al Murrey was the best thing about this show, funniest moments happened when he appeared. Don't go expecting side splitting moments of laughter.

The Crown Jewels possessed all the right ingredients for a fun afternoon even before curtain up: stellar cast, great writing and a spin on a royal story. What’s not to like. Al Murray was as good as I:’ve ever seen him even if on occasion he slipped slightly into the Pub Landlord. Mel Giedroyc was superb in her dual role and Carrie Hope Fletcher’s songstress, a songbird to behold. I would recommend this show to anyone who has a royal interest in royal history even if the truth is slightly distorted by Simon Nye’s script.

We loved the show so fun throughout. Al Murray was very good, loved all his little innuendos and facial expressions. Can’t fault the show, laughed throughout. Such a talented and amusing cast who all played there parts to perfection.

Excellent show, very funny, extremely well written. Carrie’s voice was absolutely phenomenal. All of the actors were incredibly funny and the audience engagement was excellent. It meant the entire performance was enjoyable to be part of.

Being an Aussie it was great to see the cast freely take the micky with a 1600 perspective out of England and so many other countries. All good fun and very clever. Was also good to have a comic play with some very nice musical interludes.

It’s such a shame this show was disappointing. The plot was too small to be made into a play. The acting was very amateur and given the cast this was surprising. I am not sure if it was the script or the overacting. Would not recommend seeing this show, sadly.

Very funny. Good old tongue in cheek British humour. Crowd participation was funny. Mel plays fabulous characters with those sassy glances. Al, stole the show of course, great performance for someone who isn't known for his acting. If this play doesn't run for much longer than scheduled,I will be very surprised

If you want a laugh then look no further. Brilliant witty comedy executed with flair by each and every professional on the stage. Leave your political correctness at home and enjoy the fun and frolics. Al Murray was simply superb and extremely funny with an amazing memory for his huge monologues. However we went to see the fabulous Mel Giedroyc who did not disappoint. It’s rare to be able to see so many well know. Actors in one show- don’t miss out!
