   It was AMAZING! Everybody in the show was brilliant. From the dancing, the singing and the marvellous acting, Looserville has the thumbs up. Looserville's storyline is so original and creative, it's brand new and hilarious. The musical features minor things that made me love it further more, such as fantastic use of lights, props and clothes. It has inspired me greatly. To anybody unsure whether to go, I'd advise you to or you'll miss out big time! Thankyou to everybody in Looserville for a fantastic performance!

   Just got back from seeing Loserville. What a great night! I loved the storyline, the jokes, the dramatic irony, the singing, the dancing, the FANTASTIC staging and props, cool lighting - everything was so enjoyable. I want to see it again already!!!!!

   What a great show. I loved it from start to finish and thought that the use of props as scenery was a stroke of genius. All the cast without exception were on top form and put on a very polished slick performance. The story was a good one that was easy to follow and I liked the fact that there was not just one story line but there were a couple that al came together nicely and didn't leave any loose ends. The music was really good as well and the band were brilliant musicians and the twist of including them in the story was a good one as well including getting them to wear costumes. I hope that this musical doesn't just run for 4 weeks in Leeds and then closers because it is far better than that and think that it would be a big hit around the country. I know that Gareth Gates has other commitments but someone else could play Eddie on the tour. I would thoroughly reccomend this musical to others and hope that it does well.

Gareth Gates did an excellent job at playing the Jock. I recommend this play to everyone that's expecting flashing lights, amazing music and having a laugh! 10 out of 10 for me!

    Amazing production of this new Musical. It's part musical part pop concert. This story of a group of Star Trek loving nerds who battle the local bullies at school to get their dreams realised. ALL the cast are amazing, both singers and dancers. Lil Chris is...just manic! He oozes activity and makes the provides many funny moments. Gareth Gates is great as Eddie, who just wants his Father to love him...but doesn't quite know how to get it. The songs are VERY catchy. The production is very clever, with a great set, clever use of props and raw energy from the cast. It has lots of special moments and as the end of the show arrived the audience is up on it's feet. One of the best thing's I have seen at the playhouse!!

    An absolutely amazing performance of Loserville! This original and new musical from James Bourne and Elliot Davis deserves all the exposure and praise it can get. The cast and band worked perfectly together alongside the dancers to bring an energetic atmosphere into the auditorium. The songs were extremely catchy and had me nodding my head to the beat. The characters were hilarious and easily relatable and worked perfectly together with great chemistry. The set was especially intriguing and cleverly thought out with great props. I recommend this show to anybody who loves musicals, geeks and lighthearted laughter, but mostly to anyone who fancies something a bit different. The storyline will have you gripped right from the start and leave you demanding more from the show that you'll never forget. Well done to the whole company and production team behind every aspect of the show, you made it a brilliant night.

    Loserville is a show which has it all, it has the Energetic Dancing, Acting and Singing. It isnt like any other musical. James Bourne did an Excellent Job in writing the Music for the musical and no point in it did it get boring. The set was genius and never seen before whilst they used placards as props which I thought was a fantastic idea and added to the effect of school. Very Pleased and I'd highly recommend you to go see it because it was amazing and the casting was 110% bang on. Best musical yet

    What a great new show! We went on Saturday and really, really enjoyed it! Everything about it is just sheer entertainment! The whole cast do an absolutely brilliant job with an excellent level of acting, dancing and singing, all delivered with a constant high energy enthusiasm! The casting is brilliant with everyone in this show putting in a great performance, they ensure you are entertained and gripped throughout! The story is modern with a great script that has some very clever comedy delivered throughout. The set is really engaging and the use of props throughout is ingenious!!! The up-tempo music from the brilliant band keeps your feet tapping throughout and the story ensures you are hooked until the end! 10 out of 10 from us! We are hoping to travel up to see this again before it ends! Should this show make it to the west-end.....we will definitely be planning to see it again there, this is as good as any show we have seen in London but has a different edge (in a good way) to anything we have seen before! Well done all involved! Excellent!!!

    Such a fab show; it was like watching the Big Bang Theory with music! The use of pens and pads for props was so original and the songs/choreography were so fresh and exciting! Everyone in the show deserves real credit - the standing ovation was well and truly deserved. I loved every minute! West end do I hear you cry?! I think so! A must see (I may even go again)

    Perhaps once in a generation a musical that achieves excellence in staging, choreography, script, songs, lighting, design and creativity come along. Loserville is that once in a generation musical. This musical is full of energy, humour and has such a strong storyline with great acting and superb choreography. Without doubt Loserville will achieve great success and must surely be heading for the West End. Congratulations to all involved and well done to WY Playhouse for supporting this great musical

    Just amazing! The songs and story line is brilliant and all of the cast have such amazing voices! I met all of the cast after the show and they are such nice people, it just makes me want to go back again! I think that Lil' Chris and Dan Buckley played particularly well, they were brilliant! Pure entertainment. Aaron Sidwell and Eliza Hope Bennett as the leads did amazingly as well, brilliant voices and actors. If this goes to the west end which i really hope it does, you can garantee that i will be there.

Well done to cast, musicians ,writers, producers, and all back stage crew you put this together for what i call a "very special memory night, one to remember always" Thank you , this will run and run for many years.

    Being a fan of James Bourne made me want to come and see this musical as I really liked Son of Dork, so I was interested in how it was going to work. It completely exceeded my expectations, I would definitely go and see it more than once!! The cast is really strong and they all look like they're having a fabulous time, and it was nice to be able to sing along to a couple of the songs. My husband came with me who really didn't want to go, but he actually did enjoy it, he said it was abit like Big Bang Theory with songs. Keep up the good work everyone, its amazing!!

    WOW ! James Bourne you are an absolute genius! what an OUTSTANDING SHOW! All of the cast were extremely talented- especially Gareth Gates who made a fantastic "bad boy Eddie" I found his acting highly entertaining and his vocals were simply sublime! Lil Chris as Francis in my opinion was also SUPERB and comical , all the leads were strong actors and singers! The choreography was wonderful. The show itself was SO creative and fresh, as well as the songs being brilliantly catchy! I would recommend this show to EVERYONE and I just hope that it makes it onto a West End stage !!! IT'S A MUST SEE FOR SUMMER 2012! .... FIVE STARS !! :-D

    The staging was also fun, with card board cut outs with scenes and names on, which somehow seemed in keeping with a story about students. These 3 main characters are supported by a very strong cast, and I have to applaud every one of them for their American accents. It was a very good team effort, everyone was enjoying their part in the show, it shone through. It was fun and frolics, lighthearted and amusing, and thoroughly entertaining...

    Omg! This was fantastic. The storyline was great, the cast were amazing and the songs were the best! I'd love to go again and again and again. What was good too was that even though Gareth gates is the most 'famous' I guess, the attention weren't completely all on him. It was all even. And lil chris was amazingly weird too. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Old or young. If you don't go you will regret not going. Also the merchandise is really cheap so you'll have a reminder of it. Totally amazing everyone should go or you'll regret it honestly.

    Fantastic! Great story, music, dancing and characters, non stop fun and plenty of humour. Only went as our teenage daughter is a big James Bourne fan, and was dubious as to whether we would enjoy it, but it was brilliant. The props were simple and cleverly done, and a talented live rock band provided the music. I would go and see it again, and recommend it to everyone of any age! Pity its only on for another week, I hope it gets another run. My daughter also got a picture with James, which made her year!

    What a brilliant show; 5 stars! Now I have to point out that I'm a 50 something Granddad who went along to make up the numbers at my grown up daughter's birthday. I knew nothing about the show except it was "A mixture of Glee and Greece (the film not the country)" according to my other daughter who had seen it the previous week; so my expectations were not high. The sets, props and staging were brilliant. The story line was very accessible and as I like Star Trek and computers surprisingly entertaining. The songs were catchy, the singing was very good and the band was just fantastic! The dancing was well choreographed and very, very well performed. Gareth Gates was suitably self-effacing in the scripted comments about people being famous just for being famous! The lead actor Aaron Sidwell is excellent and Lil Chris is a scream!!! So if you want to see a fine modern musical with excellent storyline, songs, music and dance I would highly recommend Loserville. Chris

    Wish I could give it more than 5 stars, it was the most fun I've had with my friends. Full of dancing and singing that makes you want to join in. It makes you hang on every word wanting to know what will happen next. I couldn't fault anything with the show, to me it was perfection. I would like to say a big well done to all the cast and the directors, especially the co-director Emily Kempson on making it a wonderful play. To top it off I got an autograph off Lil' Chris and Gareth Gates. I would highly recommend everyone to go see the show before it ends on Saturday! Never wanted the show to finish!!!

    Absolutely loved the show. The set was fantastic, to start with. Wonderfully designed and incredibly practical, as well as very flashy! Great job on that. The musical itself though, was absolutely wonderful, I enjoyed every song. The cast were all absolutely amazing, but both Aaron and Eliza were brilliant as the 'main' roles. A real shame it might not come back for another run, as I'd love to go again.

    I went to see Loserville on the 10th of July. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! I've never seen a show like it - total perfection. My favorite moment was when Micheal met Holly at the planetarium and asked her out... it was so cute.... <3 GEEKS FOREVER <3 It was very cleverly choreographed with the dancing, singing and acting. I don't think it could be improved in any way. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone and would see it again without a doubt. <3 LOSERVILLE FOREVER GEEKS RULE <3

    Because I was a fan of Busted and Son Of Dork from an early age, I thought it was a great decision for me to see Loserville. The way in which the lyrics from the album (Ticket Outta Loserville) work their way into the story line is really clever, and I love the re-makes of some of the songs from it. The actors and actresses fit their roles perfectly, and I was completely glued to their part of the story. They are also genuinely lovely people. Best musical I've ever seen, I wish I could give it more than five stars and I'm gutted that it's finished! P.S, I spoke to James after I saw it the first time. He said that he may be thinking of it going to the West End and making it tour around the country. I'm not sure if that's going to be confirmed, but fingers crossed!

    My family and I loved it! It was bright and witty with great characters, music and singing. Most impressive to me, though, was the stage direction; in particular, the use of cue cards to introduce the cast as it went along! I'm sure it's not my demographic (I'm 54) but I was thoroughly entertained.

    This is an excellent new musical which should go far. There was not one poor performance from the young cast, most of whom are only a year or so past graduation. Their enthusiasm is infectious, there was not one bum note in the singing, and the dancing is very professional and meticulously staged. The music was wonderfully 'toe-tapping', enthusiastically played by a very talented live band. The show also has multi-generational appeal... there was a lot in it that appealed to this 50-something who was a genuine 1970s female geek who wanted to be an astronaut, as well as for the younger people in the audience! All in all, it was a wonderful showcase for young British talent, which richly deserves an outing in London and on Broadway; five stars plus, guys.
