Musical - White Christmas

This was my Christmas present to John.  He really loved Tom Chambers in Strictly and we have watched his show dance with Camilla Dallerup many times and most especially his video of learning to drum and tap dance like Fred Astaire so often that it is now a family joke!







Tom Chambers was staring in White Christmas with Aled Jones and it turns out someone from the Bill for a special 8 week run over Christmas.  It finished last night which is when I got tickets for.  Sadly it wasn't a sell out but we thoroughly enjoyed it.  We didn't know the story and weren't really familiar with the songs.

I absolutely loved the sets - some of my favourites ever.  They changed often and after about half a dozen different sets I thought I ought to count how many but I was too involved with the show!  They were very full on sets and also it was a Vermont Inn which meant I loved the look of it any way.  There was lots of full on chorus dance numbers - John especially loved the tap dance ones, claiming it is his favourite type of dance.  I liked it when they tap danced on a little piano!  I thought the singing and acting was good too, being more impressed with the people I hadn't heard of before, including Betty and especially Martha.

 

Good times!
