It’s always nice when something exceeds your expectations and
Made In Dagenham did just that for me. The last few musicals I saw had me
waning slightly by the second half but this time round I couldn’t wait to see
the outcome of these feisty women and their insistent placards. The songs are
funny (I could relate to ‘If you want something done ask a busy woman’). Stand
out performance came from Sophie-Louise Dann with her solo for the character
Barbara Castle. I also enjoyed the set which is imaginative, my favourite being
Eddie O’Grady, played by Adrian der Gregorian, awaking from bed in the morning.
With a great mixture of humour and sensitivities surrounding what was a
victorious historical event, this show hits the nail on the head. Here’s
hopping it doesn’t meet the same fate of several recent musicals that have had
to close early.
Made In Dagenham can be seen @ the Adelphi Theatre until 28th March 2015
