If there is a modern version of 'Not Since Carrie' the book will be called 'Not Since Indecent Proposal' All the leads have been fantastic in other shows, but not one of them can make this work. I could write so much more about it, but none of it remotely good. I'll stick to the positives: There's a kitsch hostess trolley in the first half (but even that is all wrong for this) Edit: I have never been embarressed for a performer before. Tonight i couldnt sink down into my seat enough. Not because of their performance, but because of the material they had to work with in Act 2. I found Act 2 better than Act 1 but agree this is a misfire of a show (I adore ‘Pretty Woman’ & so thought this had potential) What a shame but sometimes musical adaptations just don’t work!

I was amazed to read in the programme that this has had numerous workshops before this production.If this was the material they kept, how bad was the stuff they cut.
The song that Annie sang towards the end of Act 2 was ok, but it couldn't redeem the show in any way.

This just looks a hot mess, doesn't it?

Saw it tonight. Genuinely execrable. What WERE they thinking?

The more terrible people keep saying it is, the more I want to go and see for myself. So there's that...

Has no one else been to see this yet? Would love to know what others thought.
