Remember that old film starring Big Crosby, Grace Kelly and
Frank Sinatra?
No?
Well High Society is about an heiress, Tracy Lord (Sophie
Bould), who on the day before her wedding finds herself caught between her
feelings for her fiancée (Keiron Crook), her ex – husband (Michael Praed) and
now finds she also attracted to another man (Daniel Boys (or Matt Corner, the understudy who I saw)).
Sophie Bould played her character was the same kind of class
that can only usually be found in the old classic musical films. She managed to
go from her pedestal of perfection to a giggly, tipsy, mischievous girl slickly.
You simply had to love her.
Of course what is a wedding without a bit of drama? Enter on
stage the ex-husband, Dexter played by Michael
Praed. He was effortlessly witty and his dynamic with Tracy makes you wonder
how they ever divorced.
Matt Corner was playing Mike Conor, a reporter from Spy
magazine, who has come along with his partner Liz Imbrie (Alex Young) to see
how the high society lives. He was just so sweet and so naïve that it was no
wonder he catches the eyes of the girls.
Liz Imbrie’s voice is absolutely stunning she brings a
special charm to her role.
Katie Lee who played little sister Dianah really stuck with
me for ages after I had left the theatre. She is so young but she is just so
talented!
For those of you who know this musical you’ll know the big
show hits such as True Love, Well, Did
You Evah! And You’re Sensational. I
suggest you go and see this show as it brings old songs and new talent
together.
As for the rest of you, go and see it and understand just
what a swell party it is!
Check out the trailer!
