If
you like a good old fashioned musical, then what are you waiting
for - this Rogers and Hammerstein classic is in town this week only
As
you'd expect from The New Theatre, the standards of singing, dancing
and acting are all very professional, with some magical theatrical
moments and an odd tear to the eye.
Sam
Kane is larger than life as carousel barker Billy Bigelow, wasting
chances with the girl he loves, and getting just one shot at putting
things right for his little girl.
Musical
hits include 'June is busting out all over' and 'when the children
are asleep'; and don't forget your football scarf for the rousing
finale 'you'll never walk alone'.
A good
story well told, your whole family will like this one.
