oUR THOUGHTS?
Claire Sweeney, who plays Miss Hannigan, is outstanding—hilariously funny and utterly captivating throughout her stunning performance. It is clear she was made for the role, bringing Miss Hannigan to life with brilliant comic timing and flair. I also loved that she has several musical numbers in the show, which are among its standout moments.
I would say, however, that the first act is quite long, and some children may become restless. A few scenes could perhaps be shortened. I would not recommend the show for very young children; it is likely best suited to ages eight and above. That said, the K-9 friend who appears on stage always earns the biggest “aww” from the audience. I will not reveal why, but if you see the show, you will understand—it is a very special moment in the performance.
It starts at 7pm on an evening, Thur-Saturday, Matinees on Thursday and Saturday at 2pm and a Sunday performance at 2pm.
Tickets are limited/single numbered seats, if you can get a seat, you won't be disappointed by this incredibly talented cast & crew. Claire Sweeney the Children and the rest of the cast bring to life this incredible show.
