Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺Mr Grumpy is back home.
The Sound of Music at Leicester Curve theatre was very well done - speaking as someone who doesn't like musicals.
They made good use of the huge stage, and the political / historic context of the story was well done. The imagery of the Nazi Anschluss was extremely well portrayed, particularly with the choice (perhaps inadvertently) of the Von Trapp children, there was some extremely clever use of archive film & recording (although this might have been done slightly better).
The songs are time served crowd pleasers, and they are well presented, and sung very well.
All in all, another Christmas winner from #LeicesterCurve
