Rhinestone Mondays

The views here are mine and mine alone.

On the 12th of October I went to see Rhinestone Monday's. A musical comedy set in the backdrop of a local pub in England where a line dancing group meets once a week to practice and socialise. Along the way there is romance, jealousy and many, many laughs. I was sat in the audience and the people around were enjoying it and were surprised to here it's heading into the last week in Newcastle http://www.theatreroyal.co.uk/


Part of me would have loved a CD as there were many highlights from 'Thank God I'm a country boy.' to 'Annie's Song'.For a cast of ten they acted sang and danced with 110% never failing to get the audience involved. Ally Holmes was brilliant as Carol her comic timing was perfect. Lyn Paul from the New Seekers has a powerful voice and it shows.

I think from what I could hear round me, people were surprised by Ian Watkins and Faye Tozer from Steps, they can sing, dance and have perfect theatre timing. If they read this, thank you both for stopping to chat after the show. I hope they get more theatre roles as they deserve the credit.

Anthony Topham and Shaun Williams are great as comic foils to each other. They're voices are amazing.

So check it out, as this show is one never to missed. Let's hope they get to tour again. I guarantee you will love it.
