Gotta Sing Gotta Dance features numbers from some of the greatest musicals ever written so, not surprisingly, it is packing them in at Devonshire Park Theatre.

The revamped show has returned by popular demand and, in the main, lives up to its boast of providing a magical night at the musicals, with more than two hours of slick song and dance routines from stage and screen.

There are more than 50 numbers from Berlin, Gershwin and Rodgers and Hammerstein to Lloyd-Webber.

Although a lot of my favourites are either missing or squeezed into a hectic three-minute medley near the end, there is still plenty to marvel at.

Hits from Cabaret, Me And My Girl, Joseph, Les Miserables, Wicked, Singin’ In The Rain, Chicago and The Sound Of Music are superbly performed by a talented cast of six.

The dazzling Verity Bentham, Stephane Anelli, Lucinda Lawrence, Barnaby Thompson, Carrie Sutton and Ashley Jake Trow impress with their scintillating tap dancing as much as their singing.

Although there is no Susan Boyle moment when a single powerful voice sends shivers down the spine, these six all-action entertainers do a great job in bringing the likes of Gene Kelly and Judy Garland back to life.

They also project some moments of humour, especially when introducing a puppet as Mother Superior in How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria.

An absence of a storyline could have merely produced a series of unconnected songs, but a smooth transition is achieved with some informative links. Much credit must go to director Chris Jordan and choreographer Nick Winston. The show’s success is also largely due to musical director Robert Cousins and his four-man GSGD Band. Cousins (keyboards), Ollie Boorman (drums/ percussion), Andy Stewart (reeds/keys) and Chris Gardiner (bass) get the accompaniment spot on.
