This happy-go-lucky show is always a joy to watch, which was evident when the audience quietly sang along to the well-loved melodies contained in the score. The two main leads were ideally suited and looked exceptionally good together. Marc McBride (Bill) was totally at ease in his likely-lad role, with all the necessary mannerisms and actions, and seemed to enjoy his every moment on stage! Jenna Davidson’s bubbling personality made her a first class Sally and, with Marc, they gave the audience a tremendous interpretation singing and tap-dancing their way through the show’s title song.
Kirsty Jones was everything that Lady Jacqueline should be - a smouldering temptress - and teamed together with Stephen Millar’s excellent, over-the-top, upper-class twit, Gerald, they brought loads of laughs. Tricia Stewart was the epitome of a “grand” Duchess and Brian Boardman the kindly Sir John.
Stephen Mitchell made an outstanding Parchester and Greg Davidson brought some decorum as Charles, the butler. A lively “Lambeth Walk” spilled out into the audience and, to quote from the title song, this was definitely a “...laughter, be happy ever after “Me and My Girl”! |
