I haven't blogged for a while, internet issues, so here is a quick one just to get me back on track.
On Wednesday I attended the 10th Birthday celebrations for Chicargo the West End theatre production.
Having already seen the play once i was concerned i would not get the same enjoyment watching the show a second time around. Boy was i wrong!
It was fantastic, i remind you again at this point, i'm not one for musicals generally. Give me a Kebab, a whiskey and a game of football or hard news story and i'm your man but musicals i can take or leave.
This Chicargo production was abit special, not only did almost all the former cast play some role in the production, in a kind of rolling substitutions of the main characters, but they all competed with each other once they were on stage. For instance, at times there were two Roxy's on the stage balling their lungs out to try and snatch the applause.
In addition, each actor also brought a completely new meaning to each scene and they always went for maximum effect.
This meant the show had a best of feeling to it and completely lacked the professionalism of a normal show, which i liked.
Tonight i will be attending the Saint Trinians premiere, so if i can get on the internet tomorrow i will post a review. Deal?
