I finally saw both parts of this yesterday (18 months after buying the tickets!!) and it was simply phenomenal. Absolutely the best play I've ever seen performed in London's West End.
Without going into spoiler territory, it was a lot funnier and darker than I imagined it would be (i do realise those points seem contradictory!). I am so thankful that I went in knowing NOTHING about the play at all, as I can appreciate that certain plot points might not come across as well as the way they are executed. There were things I saw with my own eyes that I still cannot believe were performed in 'real-life', the visual effects were literally unlike anything I have ever seen in a theatre before. It was like actually watching a CGI laden film on a screen at times, but all created physically... really hard to describe without going into details! [HASHTAG]#keepthesecrets[/HASHTAG]
From an emotional point of view, there were times when people in the audience were cheering loudly and times they were openly weeping. Honestly guys, this is a masterpiece of live theatre and I cannot recommend it enough. I would honestly sit and watch all 5 hours of it again today if I could!
