Sunday In The Park With George at the Menier

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing 'Sunday...' at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London this weekend.
I'd never seen the show before, so I had nothing to compare it with, but it was fabulous.
All the performances were excellent.
The set was simple but very clever, and the projections worked perfectly.

The fact that the auditorium was tiny really added to it. I was in the front row and was no more than a couple of inches away from the actors. In the chorus numbers, the volume and sheer intensity of the music really blew me away. It was as if you were actually in the park.

I'm tempted to actually see it when it transfers to the larger theatre to see how it plays there. I think it would loose a lot in a larger space.

Anyway, it's sold out until it transfers, but I would recommend those who have not seen it to get tickets when it goes to the West End!
