A fantastic performance as always but the restaurant still doesn’t hit the spot.,
The Mill at Sonning Theatre的点评
点评:Firstly I would like to state the positives. We went to see My Fair Lady on Friday 16th Jan and what a performance it was. A fantastic spectacle of music, dance and beautiful acting. Notable performances came from Mark Maraghan as Elizas Dad and Simbi Akande, Eliza herself. A real feel good show that was equally comparable to the last time The Mill put on My Fair Lady. The restaurant has improved with larger portions, hotter food and a more bedded in service but I’m still not sold on the “at table” model. The rationale for this was so you didn’t need to queue for the buffet but instead you now queue to be seated. The buffet was still, by far a better arrangement being able to tailor your choice to what you know you’d eat. This brings me on to some negatives. The loss of the 4for3 midweek promotion is a shame. The Mill is not cheap. We used to use that promotion to come as a group 5 to 6 times a year so if it was a stinker of a play it didn’t matter too much. With the loss of this promotion my group and I have decided we will limit our attendance to the Christmas Musical only instead deciding to spend our money on regional theatre with both Barnum and Pricilla booked. We decided that we needed to spend our money on theatre that we know we’d enjoy with it being too risky to take shots on unknown plays at The Mill. Still a fantastic venue but lost a bit of soul.
翻译:首先我想说说优点。我们1月16日星期五去看了《窈窕淑女》,演出真是精彩绝伦。音乐、舞蹈和精湛的演技完美融合,令人叹为观止。马克·马拉汉饰演伊丽莎的父亲,辛比·阿坎德饰演伊丽莎本人,他们的表演尤其令人印象深刻。这是一场让人心情愉悦的演出,与米尔剧院上次上演《窈窕淑女》时一样精彩。餐厅的菜量更大,食物更热,服务也更周到,但我仍然不太喜欢“餐桌点餐”的模式。这种模式的理由是免去了排队等候自助餐的麻烦,但现在却要排队等位。自助餐仍然比餐桌点餐好得多,因为可以根据自己的喜好选择菜品。接下来我想说说缺点。取消了周中“四人同行三人同行”的优惠活动真是太可惜了。米尔剧院的票价并不便宜。我们以前经常利用这个优惠活动,一年来五六次,所以即使演出很糟糕,也不会太在意。由于这次推广活动的取消,我和我的朋友们决定只去看圣诞音乐剧,把钱花在其他地方剧院,我们已经预定了《巴纳姆与普里西拉》。我们觉得应该把钱花在我们知道会喜欢的剧目上,毕竟在米尔剧院冒险看一些不知名的剧目风险太大。米尔剧院仍然是个很棒的场地,但感觉少了点灵魂。
