This is old news, I'm afraid, but I happened to come across it this evening. Here are some extracts from the review in The Stage of Michelle's performance in Aladdin.
The full review can be found here.
Quote:
“A wordy opening means that this show is slow to get going. But once it is in its stride it blossoms into a fun-filled, colourful extravaganza...
A sign of the times we live in, the show has the almost inevitable sprinkling of suggestive material. Call me old-fashioned but it continually saddens me that family entertainment has gone in that direction.
...The ‘star’ of the show is Big Brother’s Michelle Bass. She has a reasonable singing voice once her nerves are under control but her performance is wooden, like someone out of their depth whose stage experience is practically non-existent. I rest my case. Space does not permit me to rant more about what I, and many others, feel about this kind of casting.
