The Royal Exchange in Manchester have really been upping the ante as far as their Christmas musicals are concerned. Last year's
Sweet Charity was a stonker, their
Into the Woods was something special, and 2014/15's
Little Shop of Horrors was basically perfection. This year see them tackle Broadway classic
Guys and Dolls in a co-production with Talawa Theatre Company and by the crin (as my Aunty Mary would say - a bit of Wigan dialect for you there...) just take a look at this bushel and a peck's worth of beauties!
