Opening Night | Sheffield Steelworks, Est. 1969
RG RATING:
The stage is set. The lights are warm. The Sheffield Steelworks sign looms in the background like a reminder of everything that has been lost, everything that is at stake, and everything that is — against all reasonable expectation — about to happen.
We take our seats.
We have been told to expect something remarkable.
We have been told a great many things tonight.
They arrive with the quiet dignity of gremlins who have decided that this is what they're doing now and nobody is going to stop them.
This reviewer does not make the rules.
By Act Two, a teapot has entered proceedings.
We decline to elaborate further except to note that the rubber duck is load-bearing to the narrative, the guitar solo was not in the original production, and the Sheffield Telegraph headline visible stage left reads "STEELWORKS FUTURE STILL UNCERTAIN" which at this point feels optimistic.
The audience is on their feet. This reviewer is also on their feet.
This is not entirely voluntary.
They may not be pretty. They may not be right good. But for one night only,
They're gonna be doing
The Full Monty — A Gremlin Musical contains scenes of a nature best appreciated by a consenting adult audience. After Dark has the full final poster from this production. You'll know when you're ready. Or not. Probably not.
Think this was something?
Their entire (known) back catalogue of historical musical nonsense is preserved below.
We accept no responsibility for what happens next.
