For an audience now old enough to reflect on that mania, the production hits with a surprising sense of urgency and resonance. At its core, the production boasts an extraordinarily strong concept packed with sharp wit. True to that fear, the musical ends far too abruptly, leaving the story feeling prematurely truncated. With an extra 15 to 20 minutes to flesh out its final act – expanding into a full 90-minute narrative – Man!fest has all the makings of a bumper West End-ready hit. It is a wildly funny, clever, and energetic piece of musical theatre that simply needs a new ending to fully reach its undeniable potential.
