★★★★★ In the interval, I thought that To Sir, With Love was going to remain as a fine, if unmemorable show for the remainder of its running time. But the first half was secretly masterful, as it deftly set up a second half that (repeatedly, I’m unafraid to admit) left me in tears, warmed and surprised. What a production this was . . . the emotional power of the show bests that of any other show this year..

★★★★★ One Love packs an awful lot into its running time, not only performing a greatest hits of the man’s music, but of his life: the break-up of the Wailers, his Rastafarian journey, his adventures in England, his relationship with his wife Rita (Alexia Khadime), and the politics of his home country, Jamaica . . . People danced, clapped, swayed, and sang along for the entire encore performance. What joy there was in that theatre!
