West End Musical White Christmas comes to Liverpool!
White Christmas is a classic and perfect for the Christmas season full of romance, humour and sparkle. This magnificent production of the original film ‘Holiday Inn’ based in the 1950’s gives you a feel of that real Hollywood glamour.
The set and costumes proved to be outstanding and lavish no expense seemed to be spared and it showed. The set constantly changed taking you from a dressing room, to a train station, a barn and so much more. There was a good sized orchestra that kept your foot tapping all night to Irving Berlin classics such as Sisters, Blue Skies and White Christmas.
The story begins in 1944 at the start of the war with Captain Bob Wallace and Private Phil Davis entertaining their troops, you are then quickly transported back to America post war 1954 to their performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.The four leading characters did a fantastic job as Second World War veterans who are a song and dance act Bob Wallace and Phil Davis played by Aled Jones and Adam Cooper. As well as the lovely singing duo the Hain’s sisters Betty and Judy played by Amy Ellen Richardson and Louise Bowden, who certainly made their presence known with their top class performances.
The production tells a tale of Bob and Phil who just happen to be looking for love conveniently follow the stunning Haynes sisters to a ski lodge in Vermont. Owned by an old army commander General Waverly whose business is going through a tough time due to the lack of snow. Joining forces they do everything they can to help the General, by creating their own show bringing customers back to the mountain resort. With lots of romantic and surprising twists along the way, you wont be disappointed.
Simply stunning song and dance numbers continued to mesmerise and capture the audience. One that stood out in particular to the song ‘I Love Piano’ was the spectacular tap dancing delight, that showed off the incredible talent of the dancers. This proved to be a huge hit with the audience and it couldn’t of received a better response.
All the cast were full of energy and enthusiasm throughout the musical, Aled Jones continued to surprise with a good performance, apart from the odd time his American accent seemed to have a welsh twang to it. Amy Ellen amazed as her voice filled the theatre and was pitch perfect she managed to steal the show. A real top class performance this will definitely leave you wanting a White Christmas!
