42nd Street (revival)	Curve Leicester Dir. Paul Kerryson
'Almost the first thing you see as the curtain rises are dancing feet; these are the girls and boys who Julian describes as "mere specks of dust" but who together and in unison make something beautiful....played straight, without a hint of irony, Kerryson's production ensures we can all believe in fairytales. On a good night, you could probably see the sparks those tap shoes make from space.' The Guardian

'It is a surreal production that I can only compare to a kaleidoscope, everyday images transformed into riots of color and motion with figures multiplied, warped, transformed, and moving in dizzying patterns. It's a production I urge you to see.' Dave Schuler, The Glittering Eye
