See it if You want to remember your youth, and have a darn good singalong at the end of the show. Loved every minute, and will definitely go again.

Don't see it if You don't like 50's music, or watching a fantastic cast sing to a fantastic standard, dance to a fantastic standard, or singalong.

See it if You love the film, but don't mind it not sticking fluidly to the original movie. Great acting & singing...just a little slow in places.

Don't see it if You want to see live action remake of the film - new songs, big scenes missed or chopped around & done in a different way.

See it if You love high energy music and dancing and the fantastic choreography and 1950s nostalgia.

Don't see it if Are wanting/ expecting an adaptation that stays very true to the film- the songs were not in the same order and there were some plot changes
