‘By George, she’s got it.’ Remember the name Amara Okereke who was flawless in the titular role at its 1st preview.
We saw lead Okereke in both The Boy Friend (Menier) and Spring Awakening (Almeida) and so know how deserved this casting is. We last saw Martine McCutcheon’s triumphant take on this Lerner and Loewe classic in 2001 and it returns to the West End at the Coliseum 7 May through 27 August 2022. Tickets 1st preview review
WORTH A LOOK?: ****
