During it's first run at the Olivier
It had the look and feel of a first class west-end musical without the nauseating and contrived songs! A wonderful evening's entertainment charting a rites of passage for a young Romford lad pushed by his mother to work on a shoe stall in the Market.
The story doesn't go very far and it doesn't get there fast but this show is about the dialogue, the characters and the soundtrack.
For the first time in the Olivier I took one of the cheap seats at the front(B12 in the aisle with no seat in front so loads of leg room etc)
