The revival of classic musical Top Hat could need a few tweaks before it is ready for a West End transfer, one writer has claimed.
Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail said he watched the show in Milton Keynes this week and found many good things about it, notably Summer Strallen in the same role played by Ginger Rogers in the movie version.
He said she “positively shimmers” in a white gown similar to the one in the film during one of the dances and can certainly move well.
However, Mr Bamigboye suggested a few changes based on his opinions and those from his fellow audience members, which included clipping the plot a little to allow for more dancing, introducing bolder choreography and putting in more jokes.
It was reported by the Daily Mail in February that the heirs of Irving Berlin were still to decide whether or not a West End run of Top Hat would be going ahead.
However, it appears they will allow it and the production could move to London in spring 2012.
