Freely adapted from Wilkie Collins’s sensational Victorian thriller, The Woman in White brings to the stage a plot of terrifying brilliance which quickly becomes a phenomenon and thrills spectators by its suspense and excitement. Charlotte Jones’s adaptation keeps the lineaments of original plot, while flattering the suggestive, sinister Victorian novel into a more sensible, conventional triangular love story.
This musical is a big, big triumph, a very palpable hit. It’s not just about music: it is a big, powerful popular opera, both romantic and spectacular; a thriller; a swaggering, flamboyant Victorian melodrama; a visual feast; a tempestuous story of love and intrigue; a great, arching narrative, brilliantly told. The production moves masterfully between intimate drama and crowd scenes, between humanity and spectacle. This is the musical that will impress anybody.
