ONCE - THE NEW MUSICAL

Post by Sandra » Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:49 pm

Has anyone caught the new musical at the Phoenix yet called 'ONCE'.

On a day trip with our local theatre club yesterday we headed to Leicester Square to choose a show .

Because of an annual shindig in Trafalgar Square where on a big stage the performers of the various shows were doing excerpts from all the West End shows it limited the amount of matinee seats available.
After trawling through what we had seen and what wasn't sold out we were left with ONCE.

It was obviously to lots of tastes as it got a standing ovation at the end.Too me it was a no no.
Don't get me wrong the acting and singing were great,but the story line was pretty weak and you were left at the end feeling pretty miserable. :(

To be honest, I have not even heard of it--was anyone well known in it ?

Sandra sometimes the shows or films that win all the awards are total clunkers to us!
