The Woman in White

Last night Natalie and I saw the latest Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, 'The Woman in White' at the Palace Theatre, London.

While the cast had amazing voices and were almost worth the price of admission alone, and the story is a good one, I found some of the dialogue boring and repetitive, and the direction a little overly melodramatic.

And the music? Well, this is one to skip. There is one good piece in the whole show and sadly you don't come away singing any of the tunes. There just isn't anything to grab hold of.

The set was interesting, using computer generated graphics on 'blank curved canvases. But I found myself distracted by the scenery instead of paying attention to the leads as they told their story.

Would I see it again? No, not in a hurry.
