Our Review:
5 April 2012
She's back, and as expected, is bringing a something kind of Wonderful to Town. Connie Fisher, the star best known for her portrayal of Maria in The Sound of Music, leads the way in the Lowry's latest feel-good production.
Based in New York, the true and highly familiar story tells of two sisters, Ruth Sherwood (Fisher) and Eileen Sherwood (Lucy Van Gasse), who are both on a mission to fulfil their dreams.
This is a classic piece of musical theatre that achieves the right level of escapism, without pushing it into the realms of the ridiculous. It's safe, it's entertaining, and as a consequence, it is enough to get a warm response from the audience.
The ensemble are polished and together, with Tiffany Graves as Helen, Van Gasse and naturally Fisher proving that they are real leading ladies. Michael Xavier as the show's love interest, Bob Baker, is equally charming and engaging to watch.
