Royal Holloway
Music Theatre is at it again! What is it? They have the knack of
taking musicals that I haven't heard of before and staging them
superbly.
This
years pearl is Personals, a musical loosely based on the Lonely
Hearts column from newspapers, the nine strong cast, six female,
three male, perform what is in essence well in excess of twenty
songs or scenes with the panache one has come to expect from this
fine company.
Full
use is made of the rather cramped acting space and the scene
changes are well executed. The idea of having personal ads on the
cast's tee shirts was also a nice touch.
If
you are looking for a good fun new musical for the early evening I
would give this one my personal recommendation.
