There is no doubting the pedigree of this new
company, three West End actress singer dancers as the three performers,
with musical arrangement and direction from Jay Beattie, the only male in
this company at the Fringe.
A
collection of characters explore life before, during and after change,
punctuated by musical numbers which themselves have evolved from those
we would normally expect. I have heard this particular show described as
"'Viagara Monologues' with / on Tap".
Each
piece is well performed although I am still a little confused as to
whether it was just three characters we were following, although I’m
sure there were others in there. The musical numbers both the songs and
tap had been cleverly choreographed by Jo Turbitt who is also one of the
three performers on stage. The other two being Amira Matthews and Holly
Dale Spencer.
Although
I thoroughly enjoyed this show I felt that the lighting let it down
particularly when the first dance took place in virtual darkness,
although it
sounded very interesting. Billed as having live musicians and
synthesizers but it sounded taped to me, otherwise a good show with a
top quality cast.
