Grease (the Musical)

An extremely fast paced show with the most intricate dance routines yet still maintaining the period in which the show was originally set, excellent choreography throughout the entire show and mesmerising to watch. Slick orchestration moved at an amazing pace which had the punters rocking in the aisles. The costumes looked fabulous and typical of the era so colourful and only added to the enhancement of the dance numbers and the show as a whole. The set was an uninterrupted delight for this show as it folded in on itself and well suited for the small stage. Danny Zuko (Jacob Taylor) a very good portrayal of this role I just felt personally that it needed a little more swagger and attitude especially when confronted by the T-Birds, having been seen with Sandy. Sandy Dumbrowski (Bethany Kerrigan) an excellent casting of this role superb acting with the most amazing voice looking every inch the part well done. Kenickie (Ryan Bearpark) outstandingly strong acting, singing part, and as smooth as they come dance routines, fabulous Grease Lightening number well done. Frenchy (Rhianne Stubbs) truly amazing totally encapturing the part never faultering well done. Sonny Laierri (Sam Retford) what an extraordinary professional part you played never overstepping the mark your comedy timing and acting absolutely brilliant well done. Betty Rizzo (Shannon Webb) good strong character played out well with a strong rich voice especially in your Worse Things I can Do number landed on the ear beautifully. The comedy of the show was left to that of Patty Simcox (Helen Edmonston) and Eugene Florczyk Dominic Roberts) hilariously funny parts both played out with vigour especially Patty well done to you both. The overall casting was excellent with smaller cameo characters adding to an excellent show the ensemble numbers were packed with energy and came across really well to a much appreciative audience.

Many thanks for your hospitality during my visit.
