Five people are compelled to join a fat club due to self deprecation and the search for a sex life. The musical tells a gratifying story of love, friendship, bullying and cellulite. This feel good musical also makes good work of arguing against a society with its unnerving pressures on people to change, finding that being slimmer does not necessarily make you happier.The cast were great performers, each portraying their quirky characters to great comic effect. The serious messages of the musical are approached in a witty no pressure manner with unsubtle humour and pleasing story that left everybody in the theatre smiling throughout.Unfortunately the music often presented low points to the production. The decision not to use microphones for the music ensured that a larger than life performance was lost. Some of the cast lacked strong singing voices and the pre-recorded backing track induced a lack-lustre feel to many tunes. Nevertheless this was a thoroughly enjoyable show in which the audience got deeply involved, any flaws were compensated for by being a good laugh.
