London Gazettes in love with Live From Leicester Square


LIVE FROM LEICESTER SQUARE
15 April 2009
Leicester Square Theatre, Leicester Place, WC2THE AUDIENCE'S curiosity is piqued early on by an intriguing opening to London's latest cabaret showcasing rising stars of burlesque.A shy but affable violinist proceeds to belie his uncomfortable appearance with a medley of eloquent pieces, interspersed with the odd aside to the audience, including the by now compulsory reference to bankers and their evil ways. Next up, the exquisite Miss Polly Rae and her cohorts, the Hurly Burly Girlys. They were captivating from the off, blending raunchiness with refinement, and a drop of cheeky humour with lashings of stage presence. Miss Polly Rae showed that she's not just all luscious lines by revealing a pitch perfect singing voice that will live long in the memory. It wasn't meant to be this good. A ball-bouncing tap dancer kept the momentum going but soon the real stars of the night emerged. Frisky and Mannish, a pop-parodying duo with impeccable comic timing, had the audience in raptures. All eyes seemed to be on Mannish whose subtle facial gestures and economy of effort provided the perfect backdrop for Frisky's amusing send-up of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights, among others. Despite thinking throughout that the talent on display was worthy of a larger audience, the close and intimate confines of the venue served the show well. A hugely entertaining antidote to modern gloom.
