What a delight this show was without a dull moment.
A seductive Lady Jacqueline Carstone played opposite an amusing Rt. Hon. Gerald Bolingbroke.
Maria, Duchess of Dene was suitably upper class and Sir John was excellent.
Sally and Bill, the two main characters, gave fine performances; Bill was sincere with wonderful athleticism and Sally was lovely and a perfect partner for him.
There were many highlights, particularly the hilarious trio with Parchester, Sir John and Bill.
The chorus singing was very good and it was wonderful to see the whole company tap dancing.
The ancestors' scene worked particularly well.
Overall, a first class show, thoroughly enjoyed by audience and performers alike.
