There is a real party going on at the Congress Theatre this week and it was no surprise the exuberant cast got a standing ovation and rousing cheers on Tuesday night.

I Can't Stop Loving You is a tribute to the legendary Ray Charles. The show caused a sensation in London's West End last year and is now heading for Broadway in New York.

Unlike Buddy this is not a play. There is a narrator but 99 per cent of the show is made up of songs sung by Ray.

Many of them are familiar: Let the Good Times Roll, You Are My Sunshine, Bye Bye Love, Fever and the John Lennon hit Imagine.

The six black singers all have great voices and they are backed by 11 energetic dancers.

The show is loud, lively and great fun.
