Musical set in a Chinese takeaway, the central character is the 21year old Tom Jones fixated son of the proprietor. All seats are selling for £10 and the empty seats probably reflected the poor reviews it has been getting. The empty seats were added to during a first half that was pretty awful as some punters, perhaps understandably, left after twenty minutes. The second half ran out of steam and would have benefitted from some judicious editing and yet...it also contained some of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen on the stage, the funeral scene for instance was hilariously bizarre and the Yellow Empowerment Group were fantastic as well.
It is well worth £10 of your hard earned cash for what is probably one of the weirdest, funny in places, plays you’ll ever see; just don’t leave at half time.
