Commentaires : This was a revival of the 1996 version - now the only version authorised for performance. Kevin Trainor received acclaim for his portrayal of Bertie, and the finale with some up-to-date references to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s current activities was greeted with hilarity. However, the rest of the show did not inspire much critical enthusiasm.

Commentaires : Not seen in the UK since 1992, saucy cult hit 'Moby Dick! The Musical' is back. Originally produced by Cameron Mackintosh, 'Moby Dick! The Musical' has a book by Robert Longden and music and lyrics by Longden and Hereward Kaye.
The show was originally produced in London by Cameron Mackintosh following its premiere at the Oxford Old Fire Station. The show received scathing reviews and closed at the Piccadilly Theatre after just four months, and has since become a staple of regional and amateur theatre groups after being reworked into a brand new production.
Commentaires longs: 'When I first put on Robert Longden and Hereward Kaye's irrepressible version of 'Moby Dick! The Musical' 25 years ago, London had virtually no Off West End theatre and the outrageous joy of shows like 'The Producers' and 'The Book Of Mormon' were still decades away. An unlikely alliance between Melville's great novel and the immortal St. Trinian's girls, 'Moby Dick! The Musical' is truly a whale of a tale. Im really delighted that Andrew Wright saw the show as a student in Oxford and has taken up his harpoon to bring Moby roaring back to the New Union Theatre with a wonderful diverse young cast of school 'girls' to holler 'Thar She Blows'!!'
The anarchic and nubile girls of St. Godley's Academy for Young Ladies are in trouble! Money for the school has run out and it's threatened with closure. Determined to save their school from bankruptcy, the resourceful girls, and their unflappable headmistress come up with a plan to keep the school afloat. Using whatever they can find, the girls mount an original production as a fundraiser - a musical version of Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick, featuring their own headmistress in the coveted role of Captain Ahab.
This brand new production, staged for the show's 25th Anniversary, is directed and choreographed by double Olivier Award nominee Andrew Wright.

Presse : Les critiques sont bonnes:

"This is a show that not only improves on the original movie, but also gives the comatose British musical a healthy injection of energy." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Has plenty of heart, but its art is somewhat lacking." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"As for the songs, there are a lot of them from Don Black (lyrics) and George Fenton and Simon Chamberlain (music), but none are memorable. The last thing the West End needs is an endless stream of American musicals, but this home-grown fare simply isn’t good enough." Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard
