Reviews

User Review: 24Oct01: WOW! What a show. Performance for all artists involved to be proud of. Choreography superb. Blend of Intensity and light humour. Even the musicians get involved. Outstanding performance from Leigh Zimmerman, as Velma Kelly. She simply energised the theatre whilst on stage. She is a sexy lady, who is totally focused within her role. Should be nominated for several awards for her performance. Would certaining go again. And recommend you see it!
