‘Feels much more in the past than it should’: FIVER – Southwark Playhouse
Musically the show is lovely, but Fiver sadly feels much more in the past than it should, and for a show that is meant to showcase snapshots of all different people’s lives, lacks any significant diversity at all.
‘Pure delight of a musical’: FIVER – Southwark Playhouse ★★★★★
New British musical by Alex James Ellison and Tom Lees, Fiver follows a humble five pound note as it passes through the hands and pockets of various people in London.
‘Deserves a great future’: FIVER – Southwark Playhouse ★★★★
Fiver is a heartwarming new musical that has great potential thanks to its catchy score and wonderfully uplifting spirit.
