If i'm to be completely honest, I had no idea what a show choir was until I came to watch one this evening. I was promised singing and vaguely co-ordinated dancing, accompanied by a live band - needless to say I came for the band. It turns out that the idea of a show choir is very much like transferring the idea behind 'Glee' onto the stage- to great effect, I should add. I experienced too much nostalgia, if there ever was such a thing. It certainly recalled all that time I dedicated to the magical box of my childhood. But then again, nostalgia doesn't even cover it; being a nineties kid, it was essentially a saunter down memory lane when the Pokémon theme started. Mind you, the Top Cat and Pinky and the Brain theme-tunes took the whole nineties thing a bit too far. But on hearing 'She Will be Loved', I felt very loved indeed (the fact that my better half was there for the action had nothing to do with this). Audible gasps sounded from the audience in between each blackout; whether this was from anticipation or mass-suffocation, I can only guess. It was like Grease on acid-but funnier. Boy, there was enough dancing and romancing to rival even the likes of Truly Madly Deeply. A whole lot of laughs from a very talented bunch of young people.

When it was announced that a set of 'songs for the female voice' were to be performed, I was gloriously entertained but sceptical. My scepticism melted away as they brought out the belly tops å la Britney, which were a very nice touch. I shouldn't just single out just one performer, but my compliments go out to a strutting drag queen with uh-mazing legs. I can now claim that I know what angels sound like. And really, really top-notch drag queens for that matter.

 Bottom line is I can honestly say that I've never felt so happy in my life. 'Sunshine at night-time' is how they should have billed it- and I'm not the only one who felt so ludicrously uplifted; several girls exiting the theatre claimed that it was one of their "best nights out in ages" a show-choir goer who wishes his identity to remain anonymous spoke of "dissolving into sparkles," - and you can quote him on that.
