Did they see the same show? The Evening Standard’s Nick Curtis says of Mandela The Musical at #YoungVic “It’s not easy to portray a secular saint on stage…but the creators manage it.” Whereas, for Sarah Compton at WhatsOnStage, “Mandela shows just how difficult it is”, explaining the show is “just too simplistic to give any profound insight into the life of the late Nelson Mandela”
Mandela at #YoungVic : Standard 4⭐️ storming celebration of the human spirit and the human voice; Telegraph 3⭐️ this tribute looks like a footnote; WhatsOnStage 3⭐️simplistic..
