Not the james bond one! No it was a performance at Stratford upon Avon college, a variety performance loosely based around the themes in a casino. Throughout the whole piece the performers were constantly 'breaking down the fourth wall', by inviting audience members into the performance asking questions,and in some cases stroking their legs! this makes the audience feel involved, not just stuck in their chairs bored . The cultural mixture of comedy, music, dancing, and fun comes together to create a entertaining piece.
When we went into the theatre we were all sat in chairs next to blackjack casino tables. There was a large roulette wheel painted onto the ground in the middle, this was very unexpected. If i am honest I wasn't really expected much, I thought it was going to be a ruff boring piece. However I was taken by surprise once again, and found it very entertaining and polished despite one or two long pauses while we waited for something to happen. It started with when the lights went up a interesting performance of Big Spender the dancing was very good and the singing was up to a very professional standard. The other performances were all very entertaining and I especially liked the two austrian lion tamers who were constantly cracking gags and where very funny. There were lots of songs performed including ABBAs 'money money money', 'Big Spender', 'the can can', 'Diamonds are a girls best friend', all of which made you want to jump up and join them. They were all fun and you came out of the theatre feeling good. There was also a fun circus scene.
The performance was great and very entertaining. You came out feeling good, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good time.
