I’ve
been in raptures about recent WAAPA musical productions at the Regal, 2013’s
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and 2015’s Legally Blonde
(2014’s West Side Story was problematic, but for good and understandable
reasons – WAAPA is a school after all – and I missed last year’s Bring it On!).
It’s a shame, then, to say I was less than carried away by this year’s extravaganza, Al Dubin and Harry Warren’s 42nd Street.
The
fault, though, lies almost entirely with the show, not the student showgirls
and boys performing it.It’s a shame, then, to say I was less than carried away by this year’s extravaganza, Al Dubin and Harry Warren’s 42nd Street.
