Overview
- Large numbers of attendees left during the interval at the Brighton Centre and many are seeking refunds after describing the show as “absolutely diabolical.”
- Complaints focused on mis‑advertising, a lack of promised cirque elements, poor sound and organisation, and a suggestive cucumber routine that some parents called inappropriate.
- The first Brighton performance started about 25 minutes late, and reviewers reported unexplained breaks, backstage shouting and microphone failures.
- Producer Jon Conway said safety concerns forced cuts on the night, asserted the finale drew a strong reception, and pledged to contact disappointed patrons.
- The touring show from World’s Biggest Productions had opened in Blackpool and charged £30–£75 in Brighton, with the company saying issues were resolved for the next sell‑out show.
