Title: Nothing Special
Product review: If you like Gilbert & Sullivan and are also a fan of under-rehearsed lip-syncing, than this tame production could be for you. Fans of Peter Allen might be disappointed, however, as he doesn't really cut loose, and given the wholesale overacting of the rest of the cast (particularly Keith Michell) you might not notice if he did. I'm not a G&S fanatic, but this seems to be reasonably well sung by the chorus and ingénues. (Though that word is used advisedly as the actor playing Frederick looks pretty long in the tooth to be playing a twenty-one year old, rendering all the jokes about his and Ruth being mis-matched pretty pointless.)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
