This is an evening that’s far too much fun to be called a homage. It’s inspired, quirky, witty and joyful in equal measure. The dancers are simply superb, mind-bogglingly talented and they cope effortlessly with the often complex choreography and timing. A sublime and sunny evening for these dark days – it’s guaranteed to raise a smile.
