This was the most embarrassingly unorganised show I have been to ever and I have been to a few.
The main singers had no stage presence and the direction was all over the place.
The show was full of bollywood songs and dancing but it was the same thing over and over again! There were no stunning backdrops or costumes.
It was cheap! The place was freezing and I think it was all about maximising profit!
When you read the title of the show you expect a journey through the 50 years starting with all the golden oldies to the more present. A few of the dancers saved the show slightly.
