This high-energy revival of the 1960s classic is irreverent, merciless and extremely funny.

An improbable plot is hatched between a failing theatre producer and a down trodden accountant to make money by putting on a show that is bound to flop.

Various elderly ladies are lured into investing millions, little knowing that it is hoped that their money will disappear when the show folds as soon as it has begun.

The pair can hardly believe it when they read the script of Springtime for Hitler and meet the bonkers, Third Reich supporter and playwright­­­­­­, Franz Liebkind.

Unfortunately for our merry men, the music fizzes and the actors go down a storm leaving them in a jam to cover up the over-investment from their backers.

Tony Bright is Roger Debris, the director most likely to fail and brings the house down when he is recruited at the last moment to take the part of Hitler – a part he inhabits with gay abandon. Special mention must go to Frankie Davison as his glorious side kick, Carmen Ghia.

Rocco Biancardi is superb as the unhinged playwright and Lara Sweeney plays the role of Ulla, the aspiring Swedish actress and flirt with aplomb.

The stars of the show are David Villiers as the bombastic Max Bialystock, the out of fashion producer and Chris Herriott as Leo Bloom, the insecure accountant and would be producer.

The enthusiasm of the whole cast is infectious as they throw themselves into some great song and dance routines – why shouldn’t the actors enjoy themselves as much as the audience?

This is not the show for the politically correct and as a hilarious, light hearted spoof it takes no prisoners. This is a stomping performance with some catchy music, a lot of funny lines and some outstanding dancing.
