The musical adaptation of the beloved film resonated with audiences, blending humor and emotion while staying true to the storyline. Emma Flynn's portrayal of Cher brought confidence and sincerity, alongside effective chemistry with co-star Keelan Mcauley as Josh. The vibrant set and accurate '90s costumes enhanced the experience, creating an energized atmosphere. This production not only respected its source material but also updated it, allowing it to thrive in a live performance setting, much to the delight of both fans and newcomers.
There's always that uncertainty around movies being made into musical theatre, and it's hard to know whether it's going to work or not - but this one absolutely did.
The storyline is mostly faithful, but there's a freshness to the way it's been adapted. It's self-aware, occasionally poking fun at itself, but never in a mean-spirited way.
