REVIEW: She Loves Me, Landor Theatre ✭✭✭✭

She Loves Me At The Landor Theatre

McWhir understands the limitations of the Landor intimately and is especially skilled at making the most of those limitations.

There is excellent musical direction from Iain Vince-Gatt who controls the musical side of proceedings from a keyboard. The stand-out performance here comes from Joshua LeClair, whose Arpad is effervescent, energised, and totally convincing throughout.
