Aspects of Half a Sixpence

Well this week was a marathon week of shows for us, Aspects of Love followed by Half a Sixpence. Aspects was a shock to me. You don't expect bare breasts and copulation on stage at an Andrew Lloyd Webber. Then there is the story line. Nephew falls in love with actress. Uncle falls in love with same actress, Actress falls in love with Uncles old girlfriend. Uncle and actress have a daughter, Nephew falls in love with daughter. Uncle has heart attract because of this so nephew goes off with uncles old fling......My head hurts. The music was top notch although Love Changes Everything sung by anyone other than Michael Ball is not the same but was still top rate. If the tour is anywhere near you we strongly recommend it. Half a Sixpence is more of a camp musical lots of dancing, fancy sets and jokes. Gary Wilmot was an excellent piece of casting. We tapped our feet all the way through. There were plenty of songs you would know and a few you wouldn't and when Gary sang a very emotive song the audience gave rapturous applause. It was also the first show I have been to where they have complied with the audience shouts of Encore.

Next week is an even busy week.
Monday: Miss Bollywood with Shilpa Shetty
Tuesday: Dr Doolittle with Tommy Steele
Wednesday: Get Naked - Hear the interview on this weeks show.
