I loved this production & it's phenomenal 'Fab 4' cast!! I saw it many times but didn't really find it scary.....(possibly because with my stage management training & vast experience of live magic shows, I was kind of deconstructing each scene before things happened).......in fact the worst part for me was the twist at the end. It also worked far better with this cast at the Lyric Hammersmith theatre which was far more intimate and the effects worked even better there. It is very cleverly marketed to make you feel it will be more terrifying than it actually is!! It intrigued me how you would review it while "Keeping the secrets of Ghost Stories" as requested at the end. Did you notice the smell effect in the last story?? I was surprised you were expecting pictures of the production team as that almost never happens in any show!! If you were looking for the '5th cast member' he is listed under either fight or movement director.....or something along those lines!! Btw where did you consider there to be violence in the play? And Blood? (There was even a gun wound with no blood!)!! :) Simon Lipkin was phenomenal as Professor Goodman a mix of genuine intellect & showmanship. The actor on the tour was obviously from an academic background but didn't have that showmanship......'the Barnum effect'! Finally......as I am guessing you realised, the decorations you referred to as "Halloween-y"......were actually connected to the play! It was better in the Lyric where you left through the same decoration, the lights were pre-set to flicker in the auditorium, and the dripping sound effects & decoration started as soon as you entered the bar area on going in to the theatre!!
My best friend and I just got tickets to see this when it comes to Scotland on it's UK tour next year & we can't wait. We both loved the movie adaptation so it'll be fun to see how it plays out on stage.
@@KatMusic2009 -So sorry that it took me so long to reply, but i only just saw that you responded to my comment. Turns out I actually didn't get to see the show as the performance i was meant to be going to was cancelled, because the pandemic hit & the theatres all closed right when I was meant to see the show. I was gutted as I was really looking forward to it, but i have my fingers crossed🤞that they tour with this show again soon.
There seem to be a lot of very interested people at the beginning of your vlogs! They're so funny! And the theatre was decorated so nicely omg! And the flashing lights were cool! I WANT TO SEE IT!! For how long is it on?
