Managed to get an on the day rush ticket to see this musical. I saw no reminders about the advice to wear face masks which was disappointing, and probably less than a tenth of the audience was doing their bit to help keep theatres open and respecting others by reducing the spread and protecting others by wearing a mask.
I saw the 2005 version, and this was quite similar. It has similar visual stunts with moving scenery, unpacking the carpet bag, the proscenium part of step in time and Mary’s final flight.
The seat location was great, and the show was enjoyable, but the lack of masks and disruptive audience talking & fidgeting (not just children) and people taking photos/videos during the performance- front of house staff were quite good at spotting them and telling them to stop.
7/10
