I had actually never seen the show before though I have seen the film and play and I was familiar with the songs, many of which I have loved (and sung for my own oleasure) for years. BLOC always put on a good production and fill the vast Bristol Hippodrome and this was no exception - a professional level production that gave us all a good time. Great choreography, good voices and lovely costume - there were some technical issues and the production as a whole needs to bed in but these are perpetual issues with short-run amateur performances, howver hard they work at it ... and BLOC had really worked at this one. Good, solid performances but for me the most natural was Laura Stanley as Mrs Pearce ... credible and understated. Thank you BLOC for another great evening out
