I went to see it yesterday and was really expecting to love it. I know many people who’ve seen it and it always gets rave reviews. The person I went with absolutely loved it.

I thought it was fine, had a couple of laughs, but I didn’t think it was a brilliant, hilarious masterpiece. It’s in our city this week and my social media is covered in people saying how it’s the best show they’ve ever seen, cried laughing etc.

Has anyone else been disappointed by it? It didn’t offend me or anything, I just didn’t think it was as brilliant and funny as it seems every other person I know does.

I really liked it. I didn’t find it laugh out loud funny but I LOVE the soundtrack

Me too Mushroo!! I saw it a few months ago and am still obsessed with the soundtrack.

I had this. I wanted to love it due to the hype. It was okay, but now I've seen it I'm happy I've seen it but wouldn't want to sit through it again.

I haven't seen it but my husband has and thought it was brilliant.

Alas I'm a saddo who saw Les Mis at the theatre and thought it was shite.

I didn’t really like it but was the only one in my group of 4 that felt that way. I felt it was trying too hard to be offensive/provocative. (I say this as an atheist). Just not my cup of tea. But then I tell myself if we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place!

I enjoyed it, thought it was really good, but it’s not as good as the hype.
