A Must See
26 January 2019
I thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was engaging, intricate and ultimately dynamic. Sharon was nothing short of mesmerising along with the supporting cast, especially Emmie, Rose, Caroline’s old friend and Jo and Jackie were in quintessential unison - which weas eye-pleasing and ear-pleasing; Noah’s grandma also stood-out - very believeable.
The band were terrific and I am yet to determine my own conclusion for the true meaning of Caroline or Change.

Amazing voices
20 January 2019
This was so much better than I expected. From the first note, to the end, the most amazing voices heard throughout the play. Loved Caroline, her daughter and particularly the wonderful voice of the electric dryer/bus.
A story that was beautifully told.

Hi This was an amazing musical - with a hugely talented cast across the whole production.
There were stand out performances by many of the individuals and I was fascinated to see where the story was going. Despite having read the plot the clever nuances - kept us enthralled - amused and entertained from start to finish ! Brilliant - well done to you all !

Not What I Expected
7 January 2019
The Acting was very good. The Sing was as well. Though I found some of the parts that were sung should have been spoken or arranged differently. My favorite character was the wife, who played Caroline's boss.

Rivetting from begining to end, especially for so many of us who grew up with devoted black women domestic workers. Lyrics and live accompaniment made a fascinating creative mix, most words understandable - alternately funny and gut-wrenchingly moving. A mix between Handel oratorio and The Supremes.
Friends I was with did not understand the ending - did Caroline come back, but now upstairs?

Great cast

The cast were outstanding, the story was easy to follow. I think the production would have benefited from a few big well known songs, as it was all the songs were new and therefore unknown.

This was such a wonderful production, it was faultless in every way.
Every member of the cast has a super vocal range, great presence and all contributed to a total theatre experience. We loved it!
The contrast between the black and Jewish community created great cultural resonance and timely reminder of the differences that still remain.

Some talented singers in this production but far too much singing with almost no spoken dialogue made it a little hard to follow in places; the singing was good, but some of the lyrics were difficult to pick up.

9 December 2018
Not what i'd call a night's entertainment! It was miserable from start to finish. It's sung all the way through but there are no catchy songs and although the singing was ok the play never seemed to get going. A weak plot, weak songs, weak characters, and couldn't really see the point. There seemed to be no moral to the story.
Awful. Save your money and put it towards a more uplifting show. We would have left at the interval but hoped it would get better, it didn't, and the second half seemed to go on for hours. Couldn't wait for it to end and then didnt even understand what happened at the end.

We didn't know exactly what to expect but it was all much better than we imagined... fantastic singing from everyone, superb musical background, actors with lots of personality, very cute, talented children, great insight into the early 60's and a terrific story all round. We loved it!

Powerhouse at the playhouse
1 December 2018
It’s was an interesting style of musical, fun style with the fun characters particularly I loved the grandfather. Full of imagery in its style of stage work and lighting. Everything was believable. The music in itself wAs not quite what I expected. However the big black numbers were roof raising absolutely fabulous had every one on their feet which in my espereince rarely happens. Heavenly.

Slow builder but worth it for 2nd half
30 November 2018
This musical is a really great piece of theatre. For anyone who has felt the pain of grief, isolation, depression, personality dissociation, suppression, or being part of a minority group it can be a really hard hitting message but also it helps reflect the pain we do to ourselves when we bury our pain and sadness and lose ourselves.
Very relevant to today’s society and shows how these thoughts and feelings are present in every generation.
It took awhile to get in to and actually I felt the protagonist who is clearly going through a lot needed a decent solo in the first half as I think the audience are wanting to connect to her more as the radio, washer, dryer, moon can be overpowering voices, lyrics get missed and as it’s a spoken sung musical you want to hear everything to follow the story.
Second half so much better, songs structured better, clearer and more memorable.
Fabulous cast, singers incredible, daughter and friend of Caroline were amazing and Caroline had me welling up when she finally got her moment.
Overall for what we paid for seats it was totally worth it. Theatre is small and cosy and great view from upper circle.
Would highly recommend seeing this.

Musical theatre opera.
29 November 2018
If Stephen Sondheim wrote an Opera it would be something like this. Very clever writing. Powerful performances from all the cast and wonderful sensitive playing from the band. It must have been a real headache getting it all together but the MD worked his magic. Thought the second half was too long and should have finished after Sharon D Clarkes big number near the end but hey, what do i know. Some poignant messages from the script from a bygone era which none of us should forget. Worth a watch. It's a little different and it makes you think.

A Very Different Musical
22 November 2018
Only second preview day for us and the start was delayed due to a technical hitch. Well worth the wait though. Sharon D Clarke is superb as the maid and the rest of the cast acted and sang their socks off. It’s definitely not a ‘feel good’ show, more a ‘make you think’ one. Go and see it for yourself, it’s amazing.
