The show that I saw was Aladdin , I personally thought that quite a lot of the cast didn't put as much effort in as they could, it could of been a very busy day I'm not sure. Jasmine has a fantastic flawless singing voice but her acting could of been a bit better (I know what it's like to learn and remember lines) . The only actors,I personally thought, that had the passion for their character was Widow Twankey , Wishee Washee and Notsoshy . I was deeply disappointed by the show ,on the other hand I have seen many fantastic ones at this venue . Another thing is the line where the Genie of the lamp says '....if I play my cards right', came across slightly inappropriate when he left off stage with the slave of the Ring ,hats off to the little guy though . A lot of the cast looked liked they didn't even want to be there .My final thought was that ping and pong came off a bit racist, other than that the special FXs were on point, fantastic stage hands (nice smooth transitions) well-done all for remember your ques X

The set was engaging & well presented , we didnt get bored seeing it - the view above the parapet out to No Mans Land was a constant sinister reminder of the situation. The theatre was full & a well deserved noisy ovation ensued at the finale
. We found the air conditioning comfortable on a humid evening. If Talisman car park is full , nearest pay & display parking ( Ring Go ) is Barrowfield Ln, Kenilworth CV8 1EP Square... Read moreSlight trepidation to "do you fancy 'Strangers on a Train' ?" was clearly disingenuous.There was my slightly smug reaction to my prediction of an eclectic audience, but how appreciative they were, and justifiably so. A couple of the actors struggled with the American accent, but your concentration on the plot was all consuming........down to the accomplishment of the players I assume! But the scene stealing inherent ambience was the feeling of pride and gusto eminating from everyone concerned with the Talisman. Is there a "part" we can play dear Wife to it's...
