We went to see this revival off-Westend Thursday..
TBH I have heard the songs so much as DS plays them over and over, that I was kind of dreading it... but...
It was utterly fantastic, I have not laughed so much in ages, my hubby was picked on by Trekkie monster during the Internet song
, not sure why ? 
but I could hardly breathe I was laughing so much!
It works so well in a smaller more intimate theatre (which was sold out), the skill and talent of the cast was clear and the creatives from the original run on Broadway and WE were heavily involved.
If you can go , please do as you will leave happy and smiley !..an you can pop into the dim sum restaurant almost next door, or have a lovely meal in the pub downstairs too.
as ever , there is some references to sex and swearing but my 12 soon to be 13 year old had no problem as the context is comedy, and two puppets having sex was one of the funniest ever scenes!
I really do recommend this for anyone who wants reasonably priced tickets and a good belly laugh where people don't take themselves so seriously as they SO often do in MT
