From the producers of the sell out smash hit Puttin’ On The Ritz comes a dazzling song and dance extravaganza bringing you a sparkling all singing, all dancing feel-good show featuring the biggest hits of the 40s & 50s – live on stage. Read more …
With glorious costumes, sumptuous music and a West End cast of singers and dancers, this spectacular show will have you tapping your feet, clapping your hands and singing along.
It’s likely that as many members of the audience came for La McDonald as the promise of Hollywood, so there was applause aplenty, and I don’t begrudge David King and Emma Rogers’ production that – the show was bemusing, but fun, with some electric moments. But tighter reins on the concept could give us a really memorable show.
The whole production is super-professional; it just lacks a bit of soul. This might be because the music isn’t live. All the soloists (especially Simon Schofield, Emma Kate Nelson, Lauren Atkins and Loula Greater) are great all-rounders and couldn’t be faulted.
