Review

Reviews -  NODA North West

This show spans a period of 18 years (1928-1946) with a vast change in styles. Unfortunately I think this society was let down by the costumiers which is a shame, considering the hire charges one expects better. I am sure they must have been disappointed. John Butterfield's production fared better however. Good settings and sets helped to detract from the obvious wrong periods. Davida Bentham as Maine and Mollie Jackson as Vera were good foils for one another, although I couldn't help wondering how they would have looked in reversed roles. Carol Kennedy as Agnes must take the acting honours for this show, and the transformation to vamp was quite incredible. Jerry Herman's Musical numbers were well punched out although the chorus got lost once or twice. I felt Doreen Bridson could have given them a stronger lead in from the pit. A special mention for 'Young Patrick' who sustained his performance throughout.
