Don't see it if You want lots of flashy effects, don’t like the music.
See it if If you are a fan of the film and have children who would enjoy.
Don't see it if If you don't like musicals. I personally found the accents lacking as well as the staging.
See it if The 80s production was hilarious, punchy and brilliant, this was sadly watered down too much, only the music stood out, a shame!
Don't see it if You are expecting this to be as funny as the movie
See it if You like a classic family friendly musical with amazing singing all around and very impressive child actors. It follows the general story.
Don't see it if You didn’t like any of the films or don’t like musicals.
