Hooray For Hollywood

Hooray For Hollywood
Written and Directed by Kate Peters. Top Hat Productions. Spotlight Basement Theatre, Benowa, Gold Coast. Mar 31 – Apr 17, 2016

Kate Peters has delivered a marvelous trip down Memory Lane with this entertaining tribute to celluloid history. From the early days right up to the current hits, this show is full of nostalgia, delivered at a cracking pace.

Under the baton of Mo Award winner Kirri Adams, the show contains a cavalcade of singable and tappable movie magic brought to life by Choreographer Erin Lardner’s effective routines.

The “top line” cast of 5 ladies and 5 men with 4 show girls, dressed in Denis Watkins’ glitzy costumes, give the show plenty of life.

The staging of the “Drag Queens” from Priscilla and the Abba segment from Mamma Mia! were well received by the audience.

Making her “adult” debut, Frankie Spear is a standout in a talented cast and I can see a big future for this young lady.

Opening Night was marred by a couple of technical glitches which have been rectified.

The Basement Theatre at Spotlight lends itself to this type of intimate production.

For a great night out of toe tapping fun, this is a show not to be missed.
