  Gets going in the second half. Good range of singers, but the story line a little weak compared to the movie. Sets were good.

  great show, fantastic performance by all the performers who worked their sock off and that showed at the end when it was obvious that many were looking somewhat exhausted through their efforts on stage. The songs and music were enjoyed by the whole audience that was obvious by the ovation the cast received.

  This is one of the best musicals I have seen. Loved the sets and the constant action. The audience were on their feet dancing at the end. The cast gave it their all. There was a glitch because of a power failure... Not the theatres fault. But did result in a late performance. Cast incorporated a joke into the musical on this. So well done to them to come on and handle it so well!

  Unfortunately we did not have a great experience and felt very disappointed. When we arrived our seats had been changed without us being told, this was a problem as I had specifically booked certain seats due to my boyfriend's bad knee and long legs. Then as the manager's were trying to find us other seats there was a power cut for roughly 30-40minutes. The show did go on and we managed to have our original seats, but this stage we felt very deflated and then the show was also disappointing in my opinion. I had got the tickets as an anniversary present for me and my boyfriend and there wasn't much more that could have gone wrong...so not a great experience or way to celebrate an anniversary.

  if some of the audiance had been as good as the show I would have enjoyed the show a lot more I was sat at the back of the dress circle all I could see was phone's lit while they where recording the performance then showing it back to there partners. not a member of staff about to stop them, and a party of 6 adults!! that where shouting to each other and when people around them complained they just carried on

  I believe this show is ending Nov 1 in London, you must go and see it is truly brilliant . Funny and touching and sexy . At the end of the show there was an encore and we got a bollicking for not making enough noise and we deserved it . The whole theatre was up on its feet, true joy and as I said brilliant !

  The Commitments was a brilliant show, loved every minute, especially when the male singer jumped off the stage and sang into the isles and sang. only disappointing bit was he was the other side of where we were sitting!...all the singers had incredible voices, an amazing show

  Missed the start because of the demonstration in London, but my wife and i really enjoyed the performance of the Commitments, singing and dancing along to the old songs we remembered from our teens. The only down side was I had a large pillar bang in front of me, so i couldn't see much, but still enjoyed the music.

  The Commitments has to be the best show I have seen. The second half had us up on our feet for non stop dancing. Fantastic atmosphere brilliant show.

  1st half was virtually immature" slapstick comedy" with seemingly unnecessary sexual references and language . Fortunately 2nd half improved immensely with excellent audience participation .

  I went to The Commitments with my parents who loved the original movie, I personally had no idea what to expect as I hadn't seen or heard about it before. From start to finish I was fascinated by the cast and the set. It was hilarious, the cast were incredible. They had the whole theatre up on their feet dancing. Great set design, use of the whole stage and the interaction with the audience had everyone's attention.

  I got tickets for my dad and stepmum for Christmas and could not have been happier with both the show and seat choices (W in stalls). The view was great and the seats comfy. We still felt pretty close to the action and the sound was excellent. They stayed very true to the movie and the character acting was just fantastic. The 2hrs flew by and would highly recommend this to anyone that likes a good soul & motown singalong with their lighthearted comedy. They got everyone up dancing for the final few songs - I wish we had been able to do that earlier but crowds are crowds. My advice: be that person that gets the party started early.

  Really good up beat show. Even got upgraded on where we sat without having to ask! The only downfall was that I ordered 4 tickets but for unforeseen circumstances our parents were not able to make it. I did ask if we could change the date but was told No so we had to go without them which was a shame.

  If you only see one show this year, make it The Commitments. Energy, music, funny, great staging ... it has it all. We loved it.

  Was very disappointed, and feel cheated as we were so looking forward to going to London to see a show. The biggest problem being the volume, my ears were hurting. Quite a few people left the show early. I wanted to leave, but we decided to stick with it for the climax, wish we had left early. I think the theatre was less than half full which sais it all.
