Our Review:
Michael Coveney - 10 May 2012
There are only five Irving Berlin songs in the 1935 art deco movie Top Hat, starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, so in expanding the show without altering the story line, and adding ten more Berlin numbers, director Matthew White runs the risk of back catalogue cheesiness.
He mostly, and cleverly, avoids this by good placement – the show’s new curtain-raiser sees Tom Chambers’ likeable Jerry Travers leading a storming tap routine in “Puttin’ on the Ritz” in his Broadway farewell – and by allowing Summer Strallen’s gorgeous Dale Tremont a more hot-and-cold musical repertoire than Ginger’s.
Basically, Jerry loves Ginger who thinks he’s someone else, his producer. After Jerry scores a hit in London – the title song is the Act One finale – the confusion is sorted out while dancing “Cheek to Cheek” in Venice, where there’s a lot of Spanish dancing going on....
