I was impressed too by Kimberley Walsh (the connoisseur’s favourite Girls Alouder) and Kerry Ellis as Charity’s pals Nickie and Helene, despite
memories of the divine Josefina Gabrielle and Tiffany Graves in Southwark. Ellis’ sardonic wit and Walsh’s warmer honesty matched up perfectly, especially in ‘Baby, Dream Your Dream’ and supported by the girls of the ensemble, showed us plenty of fun and laughs as well as a cracking good time in ‘Hey, Big Spender’. Rodney Earl Clarke’s Daddy Brubeck also deserves a special mention for putting a tingle in our collective extremities in ‘The Rhythm of Life’.
