Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
★★★★☆ Star car
The car is, of course, the star in Southern Light Opera’s production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Festival Theatre all week, but it would be nothing without a tight and committed cast around it.
Calendar Girls
★★★★☆ Bittersweet
Blackout Productions’ Calendar Girls, at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday, combines affable comic familiarity with enough grit and sadness to convince.
The Drowsy Chaperone
★★★★☆ Sheer enjoyment:
Considerable musicality, high production values and dollops of good fun make the Twilighters’ production of The Drowsy Chaperone at the Church Hill a real treat.
The Wizard of Oz
★★★★☆ Fantastical extravaganza:
The Southern Light Opera Company charm and fascinate as they take the trip over the rainbow every day until Saturday at the Kings Theatre.
