The gorgeous finale adds a touch of night-time magic to Timothy Sheader’s classy revival of the Gershwin brothers’ 1930 escapist musical froth about NY banker and aspiring hoofer Bobby who falls for a gal (Clare Foster) in a Nevada backwater.
American Sean Palmer exudes easy charm as he sets out to save her theatre by impersonating David Burke’s badger-coiffed impresario, and, with a host of hits – including Someone to Watch Over Me and an irresistibly choreographed I Got Rhythm - this big-hearted show is guaranteed to please.
