Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Bournville Musical Theatre Company, Crescent Theatre
Apr 10 2008 By John Slim
A SUPERB young company explodes into this high-energy show on the wings of excellent choreography and chorus work - and a majestic performance by Richard Smith as the chauvinist oldest brother.
He has an excellent, powerful singing voice and he makes the most of an impressive succession of opportunities to use it.
Opposite him, Jessica Horabin is in fine form as the assertive Milly.
Behind them are the other Brothers who always make the action fizz when they are onstage. They are a fine team. The brides are a delight - happy, light on their feet and amusing. It's a crackling production and runs until Saturday.
