Due to other commitments, I was unavailable to attend the June press night for the stage musical version of Robin Williams’ smash hit film from 1993. Rectifying that situation last evening, I can report that the show not only lives up to the expectations of the movie, but adds an extra layer of musical energy and playfulness to the heartwarming and funny story of a dad who finds a new (if bizarre) way to stay connected with his children after divorce.
