Very good adaptation on the whole. The stage musical was one of my favourite I ever saw on the West End, so this was very nostalgic for me.

Bit disappointed they didn’t focus on the parents a bit more like the stage version, and I really wasn’t fussed on this version of “When I Grow Up”, which is my favourite song from the musical on stage. Worked way better with the OG swing set or even with the bike/scooter set it morphed into.

Also not to be rude but is Bruce’s actor a dwarf? I get that they haven’t been getting fat kids to necessarily portray him anymore, but he was so short and stout it looked rather odd?
