At times, visually spectacular, musically a great disappointment. The lyricist should be shot imposing old style musical songs into an inner city urban environment. Albarn should also be shot for pandering to such crap, |What happened to Gorillaz, what happened to Blur.
This had the feel of under development, the basic concept is so good but has not been taken through to its logical, and theatrical conclusion, which is a shame on the NT.
If you get to see it, make sure you are in the centre with a viewpoint about head level with the actors. Olivier's stage is just to wide for the production.
And there is one jaw dropping moment that nearly was just worth the entrance fee alone.
