Did anybody else see this?

It's the first i've seen of the show. It kinda strikes me as a bit 'bad girls meets kinky boots' with its music.

The cast certainly sound good, the song they performed is catchy, and I think it could be good, but I worry for the longevity of it without a big star appearing!

The SNATP background didn't really help focus on the show though - it was too distracting with all of its flashiness!

Most uninspired choreography I have ever seen in a West End show. That is clearly meant to be a the first act closer, but it just doesn't explode. I mean, they still have more rehearsals and previews etc, but it hasn't got me rushing to buy a ticket, that's for sure.

FireFingers I couldn't agree with you more. An okay song, but I sure hope that was just temporary staging for that performance. It was appallingly staged. I say staged because I find it a struggle to call that choreography.

Could the choreographer not hear the tempo?
