REVIEW: Cream, Canal Café Theatre ✭✭✭
Yes, this whole show – hastily put together in barely a week – might well shine a bit more with a little more rehearsal and polish, but the ending is full of optimistic verve and good cheer.

I am going to give nothing away about the ‘plot’, because it’s just so deliciously ingenious and I don’t want to rob you of a single moment’s pleasure
Maybe that is because there are no grey areas, making The View From Nowhere’s tone of frustration and anger one that is fully deserved.
I really enjoyed myself and saw more than a few children kneeling up on their seats totally engrossed so I think the creative team and cast can rest easy knowing they more than cracked it.
While everyone should enjoy Ink, I am sure that many people who are more discerning than I am will find it spectacular.
There is a lot to enjoy here and much to admire in a basically young ensemble putting on a slightly unusual sort of show, fleshed out with some engaging humour and pathos.
Audra McDonald makes her unaccountably long-awaited London theatrical debut in the most astonishing way possible in this devastating re-telling of the story of Billie Holiday
Polec, Bennington, Sexton and Fowler carry most of the musical numbers with a flawless mix of operatic projection and sexy intimacy that will linger long and lovingly in your memory.
