The London Coliseum

I know you cannot guarantee that Johannes will be playing Lola, but we booked tickets for a Friday evening in good faith hoping that he would be on that night. When Lola appeared and it wasn’t Johannes you could sense the disappointment in the audience but obviously the understudy was excellent and it made for an enjoyable show, but I had been looking forward to this for months and months and absolutely adore Johannes. We googled his absence in the interval and it states very clearly that he does not appear on Mondays and Fridays but that wasn’t made known to my husband when he put the tickets prior to Christmas so if you’re expecting to see Johannes don’t book a Monday or a Friday! Some of the acting was a bit wooden at times.

I found it difficult to hear what was being said, ironically it’s was easier when they sang. The story line is rather lame and the first half was a lot of padding really. Second half better with the best music. All the stars of the show were very good, they just need a better storyline and show to excel….

Thoroughly enjoyed it
