Tribute show musicals don't get much better than this. A lot of these shows that have become popular in the past decade (like Mama Mia) are just loosley thrown together plots, in order to fit in all the hits of that particular band. Our House, however, stands up well on it's own. In most places its as if the songs were written for the show. It's similar in style to Blood Brothers only with much better music. The acting is superb. Genuinly funny and moving. It's worth getting this DVD just to see the chemisty between Joe and Sarah in IT Must Be Love. Fantastic scene. Its a good quality recording too. Many Recordings of live theatre can be a bit shady, but this one is good. You forget your watching a live performance sometimes. If your a fan of madness, buy this DVD. If your not, buy it anyway. It's great
Advantages: great soundtrack, true theatre, entertaining Disadvantages: less atmosphere and shorter than expected
The Show is absolutely brilliant and this dvd reflects, if you can't see it live this is the next best thing. The soundtrack is great with the memorable MADNESS songs but also they're performed well, the cast in this production are talented and put in the efoort needed to pullk of this shows potential. The story line follows a 16 yr old boy and how one decision to impress his girlfriend could have taken his life down to completely different paths. ... ...it to find out.
Its energetic, appealing and has a great feelgood factor, its an emotional rollercoaster show that can make you think about your own decisions and I cannot praise it more, Its well worth the money and if you keep an eye on places like ebay, it wont break the bank to buy it either. ...
