Spirit of Broadway

"This glamorous, high energy Broadway extravaganza features an international cast of singers and the highest kicking chorus girls this side of New York! The huge cast bring you a red-hot performance that lights up the town with dazzling highlights from Broadway's greatest shows.
Chicago, Cabaret, Grease, 42nd Street, Les Miserables, Cats, A Chorus Line, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and lots more.
Lavish costumes, terrific lighting and an incredibly talented cast are all part of the success story of this breathtaking production"


That's the publicity put out by the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth.
The first half we found a bit heavy with songs from shows such as Cabaret and Les Miserables not being to our liking. However, it picked up in the end with songs from Grease & Chicago.
The singers had very good voices but they tended to be drowned by the music.
The sound quality in the second half seemed to improve and it picked up tempo with songs form Mama Mia and Saturday Night Fever amongst others, with the audience clapping to the music. Found The Rocky Horror Show song was a bit strange.

Overall not a bad show, although we wished we had gone for plan A and booked to see Spirit of the Dance which we last saw in Tunbridge Wells some years ago.
