It has a decent story line and some fine singing. I wouldn't say the music is in the Les Mis mould but it fits the action. There are some extremely amusing scenarios as the young Mickey grows up from a 7 year old, through his teen years followed by some strong moments of despair in his later years.
It was particularly amusing for us as we could relate to some of the (unsavoury) things we did as children - playing cowboys and indians, keeping worms in your pocket etc etc, and things I'd prefer to forget!!
If anybody hasn't seen it yet I can recommend it as a good night out presenting you with a range of emotions.
