Wow, what a show!

                                    

A show of energy, big dance routines, unusual set, bright costumes, full houses, fast costume changes, missing cats, over acting, "Smokin' Pete" & "Cappuccino Bob", flying drapes (most of the time!), pork pies, free-standing double doors, a very peculiar photographer...

                                    

...broken "unbreakable" glasses (nice one A-M), a wooden horse that looked like… a wooden horse!, Billy pre-show warm-ups bordering on banality, Peter G's handy choreography tips, Katie's vocal renditions of a full orchestral score...

...stunt dummies, stunt bicycles, stunt fire engines (oh no, those were real weren't they!), stunt beards, stunt trousers, stunt Northern accents, stunt posh accents, a stunt baby (well, Melinda was supposed to have her real one the week before the show), and not to put too fine a point on it…

…more fun than you could shake a stick at!!!
