Opening the set with Only Time Will Tell and Wildest Dreams from their 1982 debut album Asia, the stage was set for the four men to provide one of their great shows that they are famous for; and as ever they didn’t disappoint.

As always, Asia started the gig as consummate professionals and as always never relaxed the tone as they turned back the clock to play The Smile Has Left Your Eyes.

When a play is as terrific, expansive and well observed as If The Shoe Fits, then no matter what theatre it is put on at, it is sure to draw the crowds in their numbers and be enjoyed for what it is, a play that really draws on the underbelly of city life, its laughter, its dreams and also its seedier side which is just as much a part of humanity as the bright lights and shopping malls.
