So throw your mittens around your kittens and Hand Jive the night away with the show that'll make you want to stand up and shout, 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop, A-wop-bam-boom!'
This production rifles through the bags of washing of previous stagings and leaves these characters as little more than toothless four year olds who can drive Cadillacs.
here is a large cast and some great ensemble numbers, with choreography from Arlene Phillips, but ultimately there’s nothing new in this production.
