Samantha, 02 Oct 2022
Great Entertainment Only dislike was the spinning disc, preshow and interval, on the curtain. The show started full on and kept it up all the way through. The cast were excellent, especially the young girl, and the lead lady. Told a good story along with the great Drifters foot tapping music.

Michael, 02 Sep 2022
Loved it! Beverly Knight wasn't there as advertised but it was really impressive and amazing! The story line was so well played. The voices were so strong and who knew The Drifters were managed by a formidable Black Woman!

FIONA, 31 Aug 2022
We didn’t know what to go and see last minute but I am so glad we picked this show Very good, lovely memories hearing all the songs and you really want to get up and dance.

Entertaining Excellent show, have been several times.
Going again with my friend next week.
Cherriel, 24 Aug 2022
Pure nostalgia Great music and great night out. Would have been better if they sang a few hits at the end for everyone to sing along and dance to. Please remember to TURN OFF your phone, our evening was slightly spoilt by 2 idiots who insisted on recording and talking, fortunately staff removed them from show but it could have been done sooner.
Michelle, 21 Aug 2022
So much better than Expected I'm not a great fan of 'Juke Box' Musicals but this was so much better than expected. I really did not know the story of The Drifters or Ray Treadwell just their music. The cast of 6 were exceptional and actors playing multi-characters worked really well. If you were a teenager of the 1960's/1970's it a must see. The average audience age was more 50-60 but my daughters in their 20's really enjoyed it.
Christina, 19 Aug 2022
Loved the music Loved the show told the story of the Drifters very entertaining
Kim, 18 Aug 2022
Fantastic singing abd acting The show was good but did not like the mem camping it up as women. Unnecessary and duscriminatory
Keithley, 17 Aug 2022

Edward, 28 Jul 2022
Great theatre night I loved this show as I had no idea of the background story. It was excellent to follow. Songs were great and top class acting.
Patrice, 27 Jul 2022
Good show Enjoyed the show, amazing voices, fab songs but generally felt a bit on the sidelines! Pity no real atmosphere in theatre with audience until end! Enjoyed it but not my favourite West End Show!
Mandy, 23 Jul 2022
Thoroughly enjoyable show. We went to see the show, booking last minute seats. Not disappointed at all, seats were better than we hoped-for. The acting, singing and musicians were all fabulous. The theatre staff also did a good job looking after people, also pointing out things that shouldn't need saying to adults.
Excellent show, would definitely recommend.
Alexander, 23 Jul 2022
Excellent Excellent show with really talented performers. All had incredible voices. Production is really slick with smooth staging/scenery changes and 4 male actors playing multiple roles seemlessly.
Fay, 14 Jul 2022
a must see for any drifters fan The performers have the right type of voices for the songs and Beverely Knight certainly has a powerful voice. Each actor played multiple roles to perfection. It was a very enjoyable experience
June, 13 Jul 2022
Great entertainment throughout Really enjoyed everything about the show - we thought Beverley Knight was fantastic and it was because she was the star that we wanted to see the show
duncan, 21 Jun 2022
What a delight, feel good show My sister and I 58/60 grew up on Drifters music so was a real treat for us, our friend 40 had not, but of course knew numerous songs, staging was simple effective and clever,the few cast members worked so hard and showed their versatility. Fantastic singers and the star Beverley Knight, amazing, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, the whole show had a great feel good factor, just a joy to watch.
paula, 19 Jun 2022

Wow - what a show! Superb Show, lyrically phenomenal, stage presence stupendous! Classic entertainment!
Alvin, 23 Feb 2022
Superb Thoroughly enjoyable. The show was full of great vocals and the storyline was punched with humour. A great night out.
Alison, 23 Feb 2022
More humour needed. I enjoyed the show. Some very talented actors. Humour gives the audience interacted, otherwise you’re being lectured to. Also, I would have enjoyed more hits from the group, it is after all the reason we were there, because of their hits.
Lindsay, 13 Feb 2022
Outstanding Me and my partner thought the show was brilliant, excellent singers band was fantastic the lighting and stage art was spot on, would highly recommend anyone who fancys standing up and getting involved with the singing to go and watch this amazing show

Ronan, 10 Jan 2022
Truly AMAZING!! I didn't know much about the Drifters. A few songs at most. But now, my eyes are literally open to anything. I'd see it again..and possibly a third time too!
Jodie, 29 Dec 2021
Excellent evening. Disappointed that the original cast could not perform due to Covid restrictions. Not told which actors were being replaced by understudies. Having said that the understudies were excellent.
Robert, 28 Dec 2021
Brilliant This was one of the best shows we have seen in a long time, if you closed your eyes you would Think it was the drifters performing. Fabulous voices , great to hear the history of the group over the years.
Would see it again tomorrow if I could.
A fantastic show, well done .
Paul, 15 Dec 2021
Musicality amazing. Didn't want it to end Every member of cast fantastic
Russell, 06 Dec 2021
A great musical I did not know what to expect from the show, as the reviews had not been fantastic, but we were treated to an amazing show, full of great soul music. Everyone from Beverley Knight down to the young girl who played her daughter were incredible. The guys playing the Drifters were not only amazing singers , but were also versatile in their every changing acting roles.
All in all, a great show which I would recommend to anyone
gary, 06 Dec 2021
Talented cast I thoroughly enjoyed the Drifters Girl. I had not known the story of Faye Treadwell and the Drifters and it’s an interesting story. The production was cleverly set, excellent costuming, vibrant orchestration and most importantly a very talented cast! Beverley Knight has a fantastic voice and was fabulous in the role and the guys were equally strong. I loved them
Highly recommend the show !!
Teresa, 24 Nov 2021
Reliving my teenage years fast paced, outstanding performers, and a thoroughly enjoyable show. It brought back so many memories, the music, the dancing, the history. Loved it all.
Jacqueline, 18 Nov 2021
A vibrant fun night out . A very entertaining and lively show by a small cast .
Fabulous music and great dancing .
An all round package, for a fun night out.
Penny, 13 Nov 2021
Fabulously Feel Good! Wow what a show, Beverly Knight never disappoints and the guys that played "The Drifters" could really dance and truly captured the dance moves of the era. They also had the most fantastic voices. A magical experience from start to finish.
