South West Cheshire Scouts have brought the Gang Show back to the Lyceum this week with an entertaining return for this much-loved traditional show, writes Claire Faulkner.
Featuring Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, the production is a lively variety show with song, dance and comedy with an infectious sense of enthusiasm.
From the opening number, the high standard of performance was immediately clear.
The confidence and skill of the young performers was impressive, particularly in the solo vocal moments, and there were several occasions in the show when the audience was completely captivated.
Group numbers were well choreographed, Cubs 4 Ever looked like great fun to take part in.
Rolling Round the World and The Swinging Sixties brought lots of the cast together in an effective and entertaining way.
The comedy sketches were a highlight for me, especially A Little History Lesson and The Origin of Irish Dance.
Crazy About the Navy had the audience howling with laughter.
The show was well produced, with detailed, vibrant set and costume design helping to give each number its own distinctive character.
The attention to detail of the costumes in the South West Circus sketch was particularly effective.
Congratulations to all those involved. You did a brilliant job.
The Crewe Gang Show is running at the Lyceum Theatre until Saturday 9 May.
