So yesterday I went on an outing with my grandparents and my aunt to the Grand Theatre. When I was told that we were seeing a play that was set in the 50's I was worried. its one of those situations where you think " I'm either gonna love it or hate it"....and guess what? I LOVED IT!

It didn't seem like we were sitting there for a little over 3 hours at all. I was captivated right from the start with the lovable characters Nicely-Nicely Johnson and Benny Southstreet. They were your typical full of fun characters that you could put anywhere, In any kind of situation and still have a chuckle with.

The musical is about Maxwell Caufield as Nathan Detroit, in search for a new location for his illegal craps game, with the only available space asking for $1000 cash in advance. Detroit is forever in need of cash and so has to place a bet with sky Masterson, a man known for his weird and wacky bets. Richard Fleeshman plays a wonderful Masterson with a wonderful voice

The show continues to take us through Detroit's avoidance of marriage after 14 years of engagement to show girl, Miss Adelaide (Louise Dearman) and Masterson's sticky relationship with missionary Miss Sarah Brown. Bethany Lindsell is wonderful in her role as Brown and truly showcases the religious and slightly naive nature of the very lovable character, as the bet slowly turns into a blossoming romance. It's a truly wondeful mixture of love, living life on the edge and friendships.
