Sharon D. Clarke stars in Caroline, or Change at the Playhouse Theatre

Brilliant show, the acting and cast were perfect- although seen a few years ago this show plays has been stuck in my head!

Brilliant show. A bit different and the voices were truly wonderful. We sat in dress circle and felt we had good roomy seats. Perhaps reviewers calling people dwarves publicly is the type of comment that is making our country and the world such a depressing place. But this show was truly uplifting. Thank you.

Astonishing that a couple of reviewers here could not comprehend what is an eminently lucid narrative arc!

A show which combines the angst of life in 50s South of USA but equally gives you a lot to dnmilr at in its staging and the dreamy ideas.... Not too heavy but deffo not Light Saw Sharon Clarke and loved her acting singing do tonight going again with replacement but expect it will be equally good

A plotless non story with discordant, dreary songs and incoherent lyrics. At times, I questioned if I was hallucinating cause the staging was so out of keeping with what I thought the show was about. Such a shame as the main actress had such a fantastic voice and deserves a better vehicle to showcase her talents. Left at the interval, and lasted longer than couple in front, but maybe stayed too long. Sadly won't be recommending.

Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic singing, great set pieces, just lovely. Been twice and will be going again.

Extremely disappointing show. My wife and I (who are both English born) couldn't make head or tail of the story line nor did we understand the significance the lady in the silver costume, the three lady singers, the man playing the clarinet and virtually everything else. We walked out at the interval, something we have never done before. We noticed several others doing the same. We see a lot of musical shows in the West End but this must have been the most disappointing and we very much regret paying our hard-earned money for seats 15 and 16 in row H for last night's performance. We can't understand the critic's rave reviews - they must be seeing something we missed. On our way out, we spoke to James, an usher and expressed our disappointment. He did his best to explain the show and as he said "it's like Marmite, you either love it or hate it". We belong to the latter category

Unbelievably mind numbingly pretentious rubbish!! The cast are fantastic (amazing voices) but the story is truly awful!!

Loved the show. Amazing voices. Maybe a little unusual in the staging and presentation of the storyline. Avoid dress circle F2. Not sold as restricted view but could only see 60% of the stage. Shame the theatre doesn't recognise this.

Very poor. Im not sure why this has won awards. The one good thing (and there is only one good thing) is the incredible voice of the leading actress. It was so bad I thought it was about depression. The next day I had to read about the show on the internet to find out that it is about the "evils " of money …. whatever !!

After reading the review from Kate. I was also booked to sit in the upper circle of this theatre. I found there to be plenty of leg room. I am 6ft 1 inch tall. I don't know where she is coming from, perhaps she is a dwarf. By the way show is excellent and so is the performance by Sharon D Clark is which the reason I booked to go and see. I saw her in Ghost. is coming from .Perhaps she is a dwarf. The show was excellent by the way and Sharon D Clar

Wonderful and moving evening, tremendous music and powerful performances, especially from Caroline, a rapt audience throughout

Such an amazing creation: Kushner's usual playfulness and profundity, plus fabulous music. The ensemble are a joy, and Sharon D. Clarke is stunning, stunning, stunning. Standing ovation at our performance.

The cast translated the emotion of the characters perfectly. Outstanding performance!

Saw this thought provoking show tonight.Upper circle stairs are a kiler and the seats have no leg room . Your knees are touching the back of the person in front of you.For £22.50, seats could be better.I am home now and my knees are so sore. Otherwise the show was great . I felt sorry for the tall people whose knees were also squashed. Rating 4.0 because of poor seating and killer stairs.

This production is stunning. The score is beautiful, played with tenderness and intensity by an amazing orchestra. The cast are so strong - the characters brought to life by an incredible and tight-knit ensemble. Innovative staging, fantastic use of lights and sound effects, and a heartwrenching story of family, money, and race that everybody should see. (Please please can we have a cast recording??)

My friend and I had a great time at our first visit to your theatre last night. I would like to thank the lovely manager to managed my (apparently very calm) panic attack (upper circle stairs too much at the height) and reseated us, without any fuss at all. Brilliant. I would warn you though, the stairs are a killer and the bar has minimal seating when you get there. I would be great if on early arrival ushers would advise and offer the option of staying downstairs until close to the seat being available. Aside from that it was a beautiful night and seats are so comfortable.
