I
have seen 'Out of the Blue' several times over the past few years and
despite the changing faces of the performers thanks to graduation from
university, job situations etcetera one thing is guaranteed the top
quality of each performance, whether on stage or busking in the street.
When
shows i.e. Footlights, Oxford Review, News Review come back to the Fringe
year after year you can not always guarantee absolute top quality. So
far, and I do stress so far, I have not seen a bad show from Out of the
Blue. They
choose the repertoire of numbers they perform and do their own
choreography. For the first time they did some numbers I didn’t
recognise. Admittedly the
performers get younger but that can be said for every university company
at the Fringe.
Sitting
in the middle of the front row was Becky 5 and 3/4 years old who had the
hand movements for some of the songs off pat she has watched them
perform on the High Street five times.
Judging
by audience reaction this performance is five star for me it was very
very close.
