From the opening Piano Man (Billy Joel) to the final Shangalang (Bay City Rollers) this was a varied and well put together programme.

The first half set in a café moved along at a great pace with many well know songs with my favourites including Bad Romance (Lady Gaga), The Boxer (Simon & Garfunkel), Big Spender (Sweet Charity) and Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). The songs were well linked together which kept the show moving along at pace.

The second half with an open stage was no less enjoyable with another varied selection of songs with favourites including Bosom Buddies (Mame), Mama, I’m A Big Girl Now (Hairspray) and Mein Herr (Cabaret).

This was very much a team effort with everyone on stage getting the chance to shine as a soloist, member of a small group or featured dancer.

The small band set to the side of the stage provided appropriate backing that never over powered soloist or chorus. Movement added to the enjoyment and costumes added the finishing touch.

Well done to everyone on and off stage for a most enjoyable evening and for the very warm welcome on my first visit to Scene 2.
