The only time I've been to the Almeida (so far) and it was lovely. Tiny! And by coincidence a friend sat a few rows behind us so that was a nice surprise. As for the show, I remember liking it and finding it funny and well performed, but I couldn't tell you anything about the songs, and the fact that it didn't get a second life probably explains why. Maybe the subject is a bit niche for the UK?
