WONDERFUL EVENING

You are lucky indeed if you haven't seen this yet... You have a wonderful evening to look forward to! The show is pure magic. Apart from the superb dancing and singing the dialogue is witty and well timed comedy abounds. I couldn't have enjoyed it more! I might even go and see it again...

THE BEST MUSICAL IN LONDON

Top Hat is a fantastic musical.Fred and Ginger came to life again. The Art Deco sets were beautiful; the costumes, sumptuous; the dancing was divine; the music was wonderful as were the songs. The two lead singer/dancers and the back supporting cast were brilliant. Its well worth seeing and I would highly recommend the musical.

TOP HAT - BRILLIANT

We enjoyed every moment of Top Hat. The casting, the scenery, the music, the directing,production, the costumes- all were absolutely first class, perfect,wonderful, and our seats were excellent. We are still singing the songs and dancing in our heads. Have no hesitation in recommending this excellent Show to others who want to relax and enjoy their evening, or matinee. We arrived for our rare weekend in London with tickets for another Show only to read that everyone who had reviewed it, had found it to be the most boring, awful, disappointing Show they'd ever seen. It was snowing, the wind was icy, and our mood was low. We tried for Top Hat and collected our tickets after enjoying a pre-performance supper. We forfeited the cost of the other seats but it was a sacrifice worth making.

WHY THE FAKE AMERICAN ACCENTS?

Sets, costumes, choreography and songs were wonderful. The fairly corny story was ok but let down by the main leads not having the charm and grace of Fred and Ginger in the original film. The supporting actors were better than the stars. There was no internal imperative for the American accents apart from the original film having American actors and the stars did them badly. And why the nasal pop style note bending? Compare with the purity of tone of Jazz Greats like Ella, Sarah and Astaire himself. Seats uncomfortable but to be expected in an old theatre. Post theatre supper at The Delauncey is not worth the effort. Suitable for anyone.

What we thought

highly-recommended MASTERPIECE Interesting

Chambers is Astaire to a T - albeit a few inches taller.

The show is an elegantly comedic farce, part-play, part dance spectacle...
