Saw this last night. What a great performance, I can’t recommend it highly enough. I sat with a smile on my face for most of the evening. If you’re from Luton you will love it, if you’ve moved from your place of birth you can relate to it and if notyou can enjoy it for a piece of dance tech that it is.
It’s on for another two nights so go and catch it why you can.
