I took my granddaughter who is nine years old, neither of us knew what to expect, the opening scene was totally amazing and it was suprise suprise after that. The costume, make up, acting was brilliant, the music, of course Elton John being my hero was truly magical. The whole show from beginning to end kept us enthralled, and although my grandaughter had seen the film and read the book many years ago, she still managed to follow the storyline. I would recommend it to all ages with the exception of the very young who will of course get impatient and restless as one did in front of us, I would say he was around three years old, however, there were quite a lot of children as it was a matinee perfomance but they were all so intrigued with the event that you didn't realise they were there.
Brilliant day, went to Covent Garden first and then back again after the show, would definetely recommend it.
