Much Ado About Nothing – Theatre Royal Drury Lane – 2.30pm Saturday 15 February 2025

I got a cheap seat up in the balcony.

The show was a lot of fun and the story involves a lot of laughs,comedy, misunderstandings and disguises.

It did seem A LOT of people were not that bothered about the play and were just there to see Tom Hiddleston, who played Benedick, with whoops and screams when he walked on stage, spoke, danced, undid buttons on his top and sang. The show did include a brief reference to the Marvel characters that Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell (Beatrice) played, which was a joke that those completely unaware of them would not get at all.

For the majority of the show the crew was good, but for one major scene involving a wrongful accusation, the view was completely obscured as the performers were at the front of the stage, and the curve of the balcony blocked the view.

9/10
