Miss Nightingale Review

PREPARE TO BE CATAPULTED BACK TO 1940s WARTIME BRITAIN!!

‘Miss Nightingale’ tells the story of a spunky Northern nurse with hopes of becoming a West End Star. With her double-crossing lover, Tom Connor, and her best friend George, a loveable Jewish Refugee, by her side the stars align for her. Tom Connor introduces Miss Nightingale to Sir Frank Worthington-Blythe, a wealthy socialite who catapults Miss Nightingale into the hearts and minds of theatre goers across London.

What Miss Nightingale does not know is that her best friend George is sitting on a secret and this secret entangles them in their very own web. As George’s secret unfolds it creates intensity that allows the audience to feel raw emotion for George and gives a real sense of the difficulties and danger for him.

This West End hit very cleverly takes the audience back to wartime Britain and gives the audience a real sense of life in the 1940s when people would ‘live every day like it was their last’. This hit show has many layers of intensity, laughter and sheer camp humour which will undoubtedly leave you belly-laughing. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll feel emotions you didn’t even know you had.

This show is cast brilliantly with Lauren Chinery as Miss Nightingale, alongside Oliver Mawdsley as Frank, Matthew Floyd Jones as George, Adam Langstaff as Tom, Tobias Oliver as Clifford and Matthew Bugg himself, in the role of Harry. Each character has an array of talents and watching a cast of performers sing dance and play many instruments each is incredible. It really added to the quality of the show. They are very well rehearsed and the show was seamless from start to finish. I would totally recommend this show and I cannot wait to see it again!

Miss Nightingale is currently running at the Hippodrome Casino until the 6th May 2018. Get your tickets priced from £10 online now.
