Excellent! Loved the pasta song!
I saw the Duchess Theatre production of Love Story last night. Emma Williams is simply divine and she is perfectly supported by a very strong Michael Xavier.The rest of the cast are also very strong and the production is excellent. No particulalry memorable songs, but an excellent evening’s entertainment nonetheless. Worth seeing for the fabulous Miss Williams alone. What a talent.
Ohh i saw it last night too! They were AMAZING! And i also met Micheal Xavier after the show- he’s lovely!
