We reviewed the current production of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' earlier in its run. This review is an updated version of a previously published one.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is based on the Sunday Times bestseller and inspired one of the most treasured and most watched films of 2012.

The show is a heartwarming and humorous production that explores the lives of a group of British retirees who decide to spend their golden years in a luxurious retirement home in India.

It’s a beautiful portrayal of the challenges and joys of aging, as well as the cultural differences and misunderstandings that can arise when people from different backgrounds come together.

The show features a talented cast lead by some of our most loved performers including household favourites, Tessa Peake-Jones, Paul Nicholas and Belinda Lang.

Their ability to balance humor and drama effectively keeps the audience engaged and entertained throughout, and allows them to be moved by poignant moments that explore the characters' personal journeys.

The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine and they embrace the vibrancy of modern-day India, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways.

The set design takes us to the heart of the hotel; as we watch the cast, this exotic group with stories and pasts take a leap of faith in an unknown country - exploring a new world in later life.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel will leave its audience feeling uplifted and inspired. Its universal themes of love, friendship, and the pursuit of happiness make it a must-see for audiences of all ages.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel runs at Wolverhampton Grand until Saturday 1st April. For more information, or to get your tickets, visit grandtheatre.co.uk.
