Musical Theatre Musings ****
'One of the other standout performances for me was from Nazerene Williams who played both Minnie, the Frank’s servant and Angela who opens the 2nd act. Nazerene was not only a beautiful dancer but contrasted the meek Minnie with a brilliantly sassy Angela resulting in one of my favourite performances of ‘Rumblin’ and A Rollin’ that I have seen'

The tightly observed comedy comes from a quartet of friends whose timing and delivery is a treat of wit and smutty innuendo. Nazerene Williams, who performs an eye-watering splits and Amy Depledge are the giggling girls
