For all those Ray Davies fans overseas or anybody who couldn’t get to Stratford Theatre Royal to see Come Dancing here are some official video cips from the show which may give a brief flavour of what makes this musical so charming.
Songs include “Come Dancing” “My Big Sister” “Saturday Night” “The Palais” “If you Love her” but for some inexplicable reason my favourite “New Town Stevenage” isn’t. ( See Come Dancing Reviews )
Come Dancing has extended until November 8th so there may be some on stage table seats left.
What can anyody say after watching this video except I MUST SEE THIS in Person for myself ! Hopefully it will transfer to the West End and finally to Boradway in NYV where it Belongs so the masses can see for themself what a GREAT musical this is !
what a dissapointment. the whole concept sounds dumb. for decades i’ve pictured a screenplay where the two adolescent and musical Davies brothers watch the foibles of their flirtatious older sister, who is riding the last of the swing era dance waves. the blokes who “end up blowing all his wages for the week”, the tearing down of the palais, which parralels the emergence of the artists who would become “the kinks”. i’ve always loved the song “come dancing” because it stimulated my imagination into the time period surrounding the song.
