The Strictly star shines in this quirky lo-fi reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’s 1972 musical. It’s fair to say that 2020’s been quite an unusual year, but we never imagined we’d be heading to Eagle in Vauxhall for a theatre review.
On arrival we were advised to wear our masks, register for test and trace, and were given liberal doses of hand sanitiser, after which audience members perched at the bar in their respective social bubbles.
Ice cream was available. It was very much not like our last visit to Eagle at all. The set up works well. The outside area to the rear of the bar has been completely transformed; a nicely-lit gazebo has been erected and a traverse stage created, with the audience sat on benches and stools either side.
