White Christmas

This show is the best that I have seen in a long time. Brilliant!!!!!

With a super cast, great orchestra, a very hardworking back stage crew, who had so many set changes, how could this not be a  success.

The four leads were so well cast and all fantastic. Taking the lead of Bob Wallace was Steve Benson who as I have come to expect, was wonderful. His friend and partner,  Tristan  Nixon was well played by Phil Davis. His  vocals, acting   and   dancing   were   exceptional.

Playing   the  two  sisters  Betty and Judy Haynes were  Adrienne  Wormald  and  Vicki  Wilson. They perfectly complimented the two men. Lovely performances.

Two smaller principals,  Mike Taylor   and  Kathy  Turton   gave good characterisations  as General Henry Waverley and Martha Watson. I must congratulate Lizzie Glover on her brilliant portrayal as Susan Waverley. For someone so young, to  be so comfortable on stage,  it   bodes well for the future. Well done Lizzie.

Without giving the story away, some of the songs are amongst the most popular ever sung. Included are such numbers as `The Best Things Happen While You`re Dancing`,  `Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep`,` Blue Skies` `I`ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm` and of course `White Christmas.`

I am sure everyone came out with a smile on their face, I know I did.

Thank you,   I had a wonderful evening.
