Review: FAST LOVE at Theatre 503

Fast Love Fast Love follows the life story of Rory from bursting out of the womb to a party-popping fanfare right up until his much less ceremonious quarter century crisis. Rory realises he is gay aged 7 years old when he develops a crush on his bully/best-friend. He speaks candidly to the audience about his first sexual experience with a girl; an awkward seven minutes in ‘heaven’ and then relives a heartbreakingly confusing encounter with an older boy from school in the backseat of his car.

Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL at the Savoy Theatre

9 to 5 the Musical After being abandoned by her philandering husband, Dick, (cue name-related hilarity), Judy Bernly (Amber Davies) is forced to take a job in the offices of Consolidated Industries, managed by the sexist, ego-maniacal Franklin Hart Jr (Brian Conley). Over the course of her first few days at Consolidated, she finds herself teaming up with two colleagues; Hart’s seemingly flirtatious and manipulative but actually misunderstood secretary, Doralee Rhodes (Natalie McQueen – played in the film by Dolly Parton herself) and the capable but underrated and under-promoted office supervisor, Violet Newstead (Louise Redknapp).
