Shout! Alexandra Theatre
THIS was a nostalgic and fun step back to the swinging Sixties that had the audience practically dancing in the aisles.
Shout! ended up perfectly towing the line between cheesy and kitsch, so that it resulted in being as bright as some of the mini dresses on stage.
Su Pollard played it as dippy as Peggy from Hide-Hi! and even startled the audience with some singing ability.
But the real belters were left to the impressive cast including former Brookside babe Claire Sweeney.
The musical was cleverly centred around four women in the 1960s, dotted with tongue-in-cheek adverts about everything from getting tea on the table for your husband using tinned food to the launch of the pill and the first package holidays to Spain.
But the music secured its success, packed with Top Of The Pops classics including To Sir With Love, Downtown, Let's Twist Again and of course Shout!
Shout! continues until Saturday.
