Verdict for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Story :)
Singing :)
Features wonderful tunes like, The Company Way, Grand Old Ivy, I Believe in You, Brotherhood of Man
Very strong backup from Mr Michael A. Elliott, Mr David Jonathan, Mr Don Fellows
Production/Scenery :) good use of the venue, no mean feat, watch out for the "elevator"
Linda Edwards ( producer ) seems to have a good eye for picking productions for the Landor. Last seen in action when she had us humming to tunes from "City of Angles"
Dancing :)
Sarah Beaumont ( choreographer )
Costume :)
Sound :)
Acting :)
Well cast and acted, Mr Keast, complete with irritating twitch, as Finch was convincing as a backstabbing innocent. Ms Carter sounds and looks great, she was the epitome of the dumb blonde. Her character has serious air between the ears.
