Saw this this afternoon. It’s one of the better productions that’s been in the Union Theatre recently.
A large cast. The show is incredibly slight, but if you go in realising that you won’t be too disappointed. The usual excellent pianist for this one is accompanied by a drummer. Sound is generally fine, but there is no amplification on the vocals, so try and sit away from the corner which has the small band in it.
I got there about five minutes after numbers started being given out and ended up in group 2. I still managed to get a front row seat. The show was sold out this afternoon.
The whole show only runs one hour and 55 minutes, including it an interval. It could easily run straight through without an interval. During the interval everyone is asked to leave the theatre, this is so they can re-start the show with a piano version of Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend in the bar. Without that, the show would be even shorter.
This isn’t perfect. I did feel that they left some plot strands hanging at the end of the show. But maybe I just missed something obvious. Still, if you want a light evening or afternoon out, this show may fit the bill.
