Parties take a lot of organising if they’re to run smoothly and the production’s success is clear both in the refusal to patronise the material and in the respect given to the more sombre sections dissecting Uncle Sam.
Directors Nigel Williams and Gerald Maielle have created a true ensemble, which supports every individual, enabling everyone to perform at their best, without stifling the individual skills of the strongest cast members. Among these are John Oliver’s Jay and Andrew Stevenson’s Claude, with the fine rock singing of Jo Jeffries’ Sheila and dancers such as Aretha Adams, whose technical skill was matched by energy.
