Miss Polly Rae brings The Hurly Burly Show and Girls to the Garrick billed as a "contemporary burlesque revue" helmed by fashion designer, stylist Rent Remixed director and Kylie Minogue collaborator William Baker.
Following a rip-roaring rendition of "Yakety Sax" (that's the "Benny Hill Theme" to the rest of us) the energy is immediately sucked from proceedings with jazz singer-songwriter Spencer Day emceeing us through his opening numbers. Surrounded by the Hurly Burly Girls he appears awkwardly out of place, failing to connect with the audience. Delivering a lounge-singer set surrounded by a number of barely clad showgirls, Day's numbers occasionally feel sleazy, the burlesque nowhere to be seen. The honky-tonk pastiche is not much better.

lauren - 25 April 2011:
I've just come back from seeing this show and I have to say, it was the most dull, boring experience of my life. So boring I actually nodded off at one point only to wake up to find one guy sitting next to me that seemed to be enjoying the show a little bit too much, if you catch my drift. I'm fully aware of what burlesque is and that's why i was looking forward to it, but unfortunately I thought there would be some flow to the show but it was a mish mash of songs which didn't draw me in to wanting more. 2 people got up at the interval and left, but I thought I'd stay to see what the second half would bring, well I wish I left as well. The only enjoyable part of this show was the male singer (who sadly only had a few songs.) Thoroughly disappointed. a must see if you like sleazy pointless rubbish but if you want to see a proper west end show go and see 'wicked' which is fantastic, funny and completely breathtaking....
