🗣Here's what audiences are saying so far:
"An excellent performance from all the cast. Very very entertaining."
👏👏👏
"Well first time in an age, we have been back to the theatre, I must say a little apprehensive at first, but everyone there was wearing masks, the performance was absolutely brilliant and funny all the way through, if you've got a spare evening this week, we can recommend you'll have an excellent night, we'll done to all the cast and members of FLT, certainly back with a bang."
👏👏👏
"What a great first performance, I wasn’t sure this would work when it was first announced but it’s a triumph. Laugh out loud, great timing and wonderful larger than life engaging performances. I haven’t seen Phil Harrison act before but a wonderful performance as the central character and the rest of the cast light up the theatre in these trying times. Get out the house and treat yourself to a memorable theatrical event."
👏👏👏
"Well what a welcome back performance that was! After such a horrid year or two with Covid it was nice to have some light hearted tongue in cheek humour from the amazing cast and crew of One Man Two Guvnors!"
👏👏👏
