Musical Theatre Review: High Society at The Bridewell Theatre

Scott Matthewman, November 2013

 

"Throughout, the cast is led superbly by Eileen Donnelly as Tracy, with a performance that is both endearing and enchanting. Matching her for magnetic presence is Lotte Gilmore as Tracy’s precocious younger sister Dinah, successfully conveying the sort of babe out of whose mouths uncomfortable truths tend to flow." 

 

"Matthew Prince’s direction and Ian Thiele-Long’s set design work well to convey the opulence of an upper-class American mansion within the confines of the Bridewell’s space. Adeswua Gbinigie’s choreography is bold, confident and exuberant – exactly what this musical needs, and performed with exactly the right level of joyous gusto by an ensemble that is clearly having a ball."
