Five friends celebrate the past on a hilarious karaoke night out packed with girlie anthems including Dancing Queen, I Will Survive, It's Raining Men and many more...
From Where the Heart Is writer, Louise Roche, this thoughtful, brilliantly funny and down to earth musical comedy follows five girlfriends on a riotous, cocktail fuelled karaoke night out.
This unmissable show is bursting with energy and jam-packed with anthems. Grab your own girlfriends, your sisters and your workmates and prepare to laugh like never before, as our gal pals remember the many years of tears, joy and hilarious antics that have created their special bond.
It’s entertaining enough fare in its own way. If hardly a stretch, and paper thin. But without the karaoke anthems that punctuate the show throughout, (not all of them that well delivered it has to be said, Gillian Taylforth’s singing in particular leaving a lot to be desired), it would be seriously in need of more character development...But the crowd were dancing in the aisles by the end. Which for a show of this type is proof enough that it has succeeded in doing exactly what it says on the tin.
It becomes increasingly clear that this show isn’t really about quality of performance, or even about transcending the terribleness of an average real-life karaoke night. It’s rather about using the currency of female experience to bring famous folk and ordinary audience members together, in shared space, around the songs that have helped to mark out their lives. In that sense, it works.
