The Tour

This play within a musical aims to show us what life as part of a touring company is really like. From nerves to affairs to missing home, each character faces the realities of living out of a tour bus. This is a new piece of writing from Jennifer Harding Ricky Johnston and John Kristian and performed by Spangle Entertainment.

All in all a really enjoyable and captivating show that was a pleasant surprise.

The story begins for us with the group in a delighted state, having found out they have been chosen to be part of the cast of A Sisters Love and all hoping that this will be their big break. From there everything gets a lot more interesting and as the rumour mill works in overload, romances are rekindled it starts to become very clear that the group aren't quite as close as they think they are. When word comes their way that perhaps their tour is at risk of being cut they need to band together to decide the best way forward.

This show has a lot of pleasing aspects. It's perfectly cast as you become totally immersed in what is a very believable and genuine performance. The chemistry onstage is very authentic and the actors play their parts with ease. The music for the most part is good, however there's a few clunky moments where the writers play around with the time signature in a way that I'm not even sure the cast understood. Some fantastic vocal performances from Jill Rensing and Matt Bond - though perhaps it would be an idea to tone down the stronger singers on the ensemble numbers.

All in all a really enjoyable and captivating show that was a pleasant surprise.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
