A good Theatrical production with some excellent music, but also some very ordinary stuff. I need to familiarize myself with their material in order to be able to enjoy them more.

James's voice wasn't on top form and they seemed a bit sloppy to me. The Venue and in particular the stage was small.

Ray's voice was great. APSOG made a brilliant first half, but wasn't too keen on the heavier 2nd half of the set

The worst piece of theatre I've seen in a long time, despite the presence of Juliette Binoche. Total, unbelievable nonsense!
