Opening Night at the Opera House Manchester on the 4th May till the 19th May 2012. It has a lovely auditorium with a green and gold colour. The theatre houses 7 bars; Beecham Bar, Stalls Bar, Phantom Bar, Auditorium Bar, Circle Bar, Gallery Bar and the members only 100 Club. Plenty of parking locally round the theatre but it is quite expensive.
Set in modern day Manchester, the show tells the story of a young vampire, named Vampi (Lauren Samuels) – obviously, who longs to live a normal human life and to find love, who eventually falls for Andrew Van Helsing (Stuart Matthew Price) a university friend of her brother Rudi but being a vampire is getting in her way for romance. Then there is Stanley P the reporter who is trying to expose the Acula clan as vampires. The stand out performance of the show comes from love struck Andrew ‘Van’ Helsing and Vampi, who produce a truly memorable climax to the first act with Bonnie Tyler’s song Total Eclipse of the Heart, complete with flying bats soaring over the front rows of the stalls.
An unforgettable show of excellent entertainment, a talented cast of performers, vocals were wonderful, the choreography and dancing was outstanding . All in all this was an excellent show to watch and would definitely love to watch again.
Rating: 5/5
