The Go-Between Tickets

Qw weren't sure we were going to like this show at first because it was not the sort we normally choose, but it was so professionally presented and performed that we felt culturally uplifted by the end. A different experience!

The show was ok. The two boy Ctors and Michael Crawford carried it. The music became tedious as there was little variation.

We went to see The Go-Between as family of L P Hartley - it is a great story the staging is excellent, acting superb especially the 2 Leo's. I tend to avoid musicals but this was not too sing songy an emotional portrayal of a classic story with laughter and tears but I was disappointed that the famous opening line of the book was slotted in rather clumsily.

as above

Disappointed that Michael Crawford did not act on that day as we came from Istanbul just to see him!

The only pity is that we went because we wanted to see Michael Crawford perform on stage but he was not performing that night.

An excellent performance by the entire cast but to describe the show as a musical when the only musical instrument is a piano is rather misleading (the pianist was excellent)!

It's not a 'blockbuster' - but a good remake of an old story - the acting was good especially the 'Go Between' lad who carried himself very well. Michael Crawford took the part of the adult 'Go Between' and played and sang it well. Altogether a very good evening's entertainment.

This was such a treat Loved everything, our seats were great the ambiance was right Fantastic xxxxx

The story was a little confusing in the ending. I thought I heard Marian say that everyone was supposed to think that Ted died of suicide. Did he or did he not? Why did he commit suicide? That makes no sense to me. I also thought that Michael Crawford's voice was rather wasted in this play. He certainly was expressive, but his majestic voice was lost in the pedestrian and unimpressive score.

Michael Crawford was excellent, a lovely voice and utterly fabulous. The other cast members were the same; especially the two young boys. We had a upgrade in our seats and only five rows from the stage.

Refreshing change from the glitzy musicals. Great acting and storyline.

Excellent acting & vocals

This is not a musical in the usual sense of the word. A quite intense piece where the words and intonnation are more important than the music. The pianist on stage worked well and did a great job. Michael Crawford and the young boy, who played Leo , both worked so hard to really bring the story to the audience.

The entire cast were fantastic, Michael Crawford is an amazing actor and his voice is something else, first saw Michael in Barnum and he created the character to perfection.

Beautiful theatre, Michael Crawford, and the young Michael Crawford, totally brilliant. A great show!

We went on Michael Crawfords reputation but were disappointed . He was good but had too little input - a weak story line. The small boy was excellent , the farmer very good , the others mediocre . From the other side of the world we had hoped for another great show as we have seen here over the years. I would not recommend this show.

Music was by means of a clanky and annoying piano. More or less a singing play than a musical. Dim lighting didn't help the uninspiring set which seems to have been done on the cheap. Dull songs. Afraid it is a case of "taxi for Mr Crawford" who just couldn't reach the notes, which made the boring songs even more tedious. We love theatre and the West End, but this show was, for us, as disaster. We couldn't wait for the interval...at which point we escaped!

Michael Crawford was stunning, the 2 child actors were brilliant. Quite a sad story but well delivered by a good solid cast.

Fantastic theatre, nice and cosy you really feel near to the stage and in keeping feel really involved with the performance. The cast were amazing !! All with amazing voices, the children really add to the show especially making the story more interesting. Best of all it was AMAZING to see Michael Crawford he was fantastic and mesmerising he made his character believable. All the little touches that Michael does during his performance really adds up to the fact he is the BEST at not only singing but delivery.

A real old classic story. I loved the piano music and the singing was really beautiful. I think it would appeal to everyone as there was two brilliant young boys acting in it. Also to older people as it was not loud blaring music like a lot of shows today. Michael Crawford has a beautiful voice and is a true professional to act such a completely different part from Frank Spenser. "Some Mother's do have Them" The costumes and the set were fantastic.

Must see just try not to laugh at all of the innuendos like I did.
