A stellar cast leads by example in this triumphant opening night.
Mel Brooks’ classic musical about a
struggling Broadway producer dazzled tonight as the nationwide tour stops at
Woking. With its all-star cast living up to their top line billing and support
cast raising the bar; this was a production for others to live up to.
The script was funny and tight, the comedy on
point, slapstick and just a touch bawdy and blue and the songs memorable and bright.
The set was simple and scaled down (cue mini sized taxi prop!) but this only
helped to fuel the actor’s fire.
