I don’t even know where to start!
We arrived and there were SO many people queuing to get in, and such a diverse range of people at that! What did they know that I didn’t?
We went in and I read over the event info again. It promised a dance floor. There was a small space in front of the stage, I laughed that the tiny space was going to pass as a dance floor.
I was wrong!
From the moment the ensemble hit the stage they had the audience in the palm of their hands. They were honestly AMAZING! They were very clearly having a ball! As soon as they invited the audience to dance we were up! It was a solid hour of brilliant music played by one of the most fun, engaging and enthusiastic bands I have ever seen.
There was something for everyone, Stacey’s Mom, Jesse’s Girl, were Torn over The Time of My Life but in the end a simple Come On Eileen was all it took! The show had music from across the decades, interpretive dance, laughter, and, if your Fringe isn’t complete without a bit of skin being bared it had that as well for ‘It’s Raining Men’ (while maintaining their PG rating!)
I have not stopped smiling since I left! I would say it is probably my favourite Fringe show that I have seen (and I’ve seen a lot over the years), I loved it so much I am going again - I’ve already got my tickets!
I didn’t know what a 5 star show looked like. Now I do!
