There was a nice five minute interview with Robbie and David Walliams on News at Ten tonight with Will Gompertz the BBC's Art correspondent.

Also had the Director of the RSC on.

Good publicity for it. cool.gif

There's certainly a few catchy numbers that'll stay in your head long after the performance finishes. Guy Chambers and Robbie Williams' funky beats and pulsing soundtrack make you want to bop and clap along. Their music switches from emotional ballads, to hip-hop grime, to cheesy pop numbers. Each song fits perfectly with every story beat and alongside Aletta Collins' thrilling choreography, these moments are filled with exuberance and delight. The audience - made up of a mixture of children and adults - are buzzing throughout the entire performance. Their enthusiasm for the show is contagious and is absorbed by the ensemble, who offer so much energy and high pizazz, giving everyone in the room one heck of a show.

The auditorium is filled with love and excitement, and it makes the show a delicious treat from start to finish. smile.gif

The Boy in the Dress review: A sure hit that dares to be different

****

Royal Shakespeare Theatre
rsc.org.uk

Although it features a fair bit of cross-dressing, this irresistible family show from writer and actor David Walliams and pop star Robbie Williams makes a terrific antidote to panto.

It never quite captures the sheer magic of Matilda, the RSC’s last great musical hit, but The Boy in the Dress is a bouncy, boisterous and above all humane celebration of those who dare to be different.

Gregory Doran’s production captures the quick passions and anxieties of childhood perfectly and has remarkable emotional rigour. Choreographer Aletta Collins stages the most effective football match I’ve ever seen on stage. You leave with a big smile on your face.

Our hero is 12-year-old Dennis (charmingly assured, clear-voiced Toby Mocrei the night I saw it) a star footballer stuck with an angry, wounded dad and oafish older brother after his mother leaves.

His only photo of her, in a yellow dress, sparks a sudden passion for female fashion, encouraged by the school’s teenage queen Lisa James (sparky Tabitha Knowles, who also shares her part). His decision to go to class in an orange, sequined dress provokes a typical knee-jerk reaction from teachers and classmates. At first, that is…Playwright Mark Ravenhill, adapting Walliams’s children’s book, refuses to tie himself in knots. Dennis likes wearing dresses and he likes girls: simple.

There are a few humdrum patches in the script, and if Dennis’s friendship group — Asian boy, greedy kid, cheery cornershop owner — ticks inclusive boxes, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Ultimately, the best thing about this show is its easy naturalness. All but two of the songs spring organically from the action and all of them feature lovely, loping, deceptively simple rhymes from Williams, his longtime collaborator Guy Chambers and Chris Heath.

The opening number, Ordinary, is beautifully phrased. I Hate Kids, sung by Forbes Masson’s angry headmaster, is wonderfully blunt, and the anthem You Can’t Expel Us All sounds like Robbie in his pomp. A London run for this show surely beckons next year.
