REVIEW
This was a case of 'The show must go on'. The director and
actress, Wyn Tootell, had a heart attack on the morning of
the fourth night. As she was playing the role of Madame
Dubonnet and the show had three more nights to run, the
prompt, Bobbie Day read in. She acted and moved well to
boot. The show did go on and with great effect. Wyn can be
very proud of her young cast, as I'm sure they are of her.
We had lovely cameos by Lorraine Sullivan as Masie, Zoe
Duffin as Dulcie and Brainne Edge as Fay. The performance
of Cassandra Moon, who played Polly, was one of the best I
have ever seen and Robin Armstrong's Tony was the best
thing I have seen this young man do. Well done both of
them.
Oliver Franklin was an exuberant Bobby Van Hussen and I
particulary enjoyed the part of Lord Brockhurst played by
Andrew Swindley.
The choreography was well thought out on stage, which had
to be extended for this production. May I add that I hope
by the time Wyn reads this, she is well on the road to
recovery.
A charming production of a show that never ceases to
entertain. Thank you
