Simon Lipkin is nice enjoyable on the coronary heart of Elf the Musical on the Dominion Theatre
“I gave it a try”
I largely eschew reviewing (and even seeing) any festive exhibits however a ticket to accompany a pal to Elf the Musical dropped into my lap and with the forged that includes Simon Lipkin, Rebecca Lock, Kim Ismay and Tom Chambers, I made a decision I undergo a bit of Christmas cheer however maintain off a proper evaluation. I’ve seen the present a few occasions earlier than and appreciated it greater than I assumed I’d.
This time round, its old-school charms wore a bit of thinner (presumably exacerbated by the form of viewers behaviour that ought to robotically get you on the naughty listing). Lipkin’s Buddy is nice enjoyable, he actually is a good comedian performer, however you actually discover how underwritten Jovie is (Georgina Castle doing properly regardless) by comparability and there’s an actual casting mis-step so far as Chambers is anxious.
