When I arrived at the Orchard Theatre I collected my two tickets for the night by the ticket office. When I went into the theatre it was buzzing and there were many early arrivals whom looked eager to see the show! The theatre was clean and welcoming and the staff were friendly and helpful.  

Every seat in the house is amazing. I was sitting in the upper circle and I still had an amazing view and I could see the whole stage. My first thoughts of the setting of the show was really good, the set, lighting and props were all amazing and the set changes were sharp and quick which is very impressive. The actors, of course, were remarkable. Kara Lily Hayworth whom played the part of Cilla was absolutely incredible with the voice of an angel. Myself as an audience member could tell that everyone who had a part in the show including producers, makeup, sound, set makers all played a huge part. Even to the camera men who recorded the performance were great. I would definitely recommend this show to any musical theatre lovers or to public member who loves a chilled night out. Definitely a West-End worthy performance!
