COPACABANA (2009)

Macclesfield Majestic Theatre Group

Director: Collette Desborough
Choreographers: Collette Desborough
Musical Director: Ian Jones

This was glitzy and glamorous and full credit should go to the wardrobe team for their fabulous costumes. As a first time director, Collette showed she is here to stay and she did a good job with this production.

Micheal Daws, as Tony, worked hard in this role, but sometimes looked a little uncomfortableduring his dancing numbers, showing great concentration in his expressions. Alex Howarth, as Lola, gave a good performance and worked well with both Tony and Rico. I particularly liked Carolyn Farrish-Mayer as Conchita. Here we had a real professional showgirl performance which was well sustained.

Peter Garsden was well cast as Sam and had good comedy timing, but the outstanding performance for me was Jane Campaigne as Gladys. She is a natural actress with great facial expression and an ability with comedy.

Congratulations to all the chorus. You showed some fine work but I did feel that in this production, the music was far too loud for you. Quite a number struggled during musical numbers, which was such a shame as it did spoil the effect.

Thank you for the sparkle and your very kind hospitality.”
