Absolutely loved it. Went with my 10 year old niece and we both had a blast. Couldn't stop raving about the show afterwards. We got the balcony seats at QPAC and had a great view near the middle. My favourite part was when they started singing 'It's a hard knock life'. Her favourite was when the dog came on stage (the dog is pictured in multiple places before you go to the show, so shouldn't be a spoiler).

Excellent actors and performers. Light hearted with some great puns. My favourite performer played miss Hannigan and had me gut laughing on many occasions. The show all round was excellent and I wouldn't change a thing. Great for adults and children 5+ The show outweighed the lack of space, as the seating in Brisbane was like sitting on a plane. Small seats with shared armrests.
