High Society (Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Inner London)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | It's very brave of a fringe theatre like this to stage such a big musical, but Upstairs at the Gatehouse does it proud. They work miracles moving from veranda to parlour to pool to ballroom (with the set changes staged to keep you amused). The cast sing Cole Porter's classics well (and boy are there a lot of them) with excellent backing from a small band and there are some great comic moments, particularly from 'Uncle Willy'. In the end, though, the story and book aren't realy good enough. Great production of a mediocre show. - Gareth James | 18 Jan 10 |
