****Give your money to a "Sweet Charity"
Fri, 8 Dec 2006, 09:18 pmIf you haven't already booked your seats I suggest you do so right away or you will miss a great show!
The whole impact of the show was great. The director and his team did an excellent job on casting, costuming, set design, musical direction and choreography.
Vicki Kirkman as Sweet Charity shone through in a very challenging and exhausting role. She dances and sings well and was ably supported by the rest of the cast. I enjoyed the scene with Vittorio immensely in his apartment, and thought the scene in the elevator was hillarious.
The installation of new lighting at Stirling helped create a great atmosphere with the ability to backlight the stage for the first time.
The sleazy scene in the ballroom with the girls singing to Hey big spender was a show highlight and looked very atmospheric with the girls sillhoutted in the front.
The standout number was of course "The Rhythm of Life" featuring the charismatic Tyler Jones as Daddy Bruebeck.
This number was so intricate in its vocal arrangement and stage movement, that it was over far too soon!
Overall, I would say this was a very tight, well paced production full of energy and emotion.
Congratulations to everyone involved and well worth a visit.
I agree with you.

Did I forget to mention Nicki and Helene? They certainly did stand out and both have real star quality! Great casting choice. Their duet was great and I also enjoyed the "Their's gotta be something better than this" with a fourth girl who was also very strong.
There is one more week to run, so get in there and by a ticket before they are all sold out.
Cheers
