SON OF A PREACHER MAN – Touring ★★★

In Musicals, Regional theatre, Reviews, Scotland, Touring by Thom Dibdin20th October 2017Leave a Comment

Dusty Springfield fans will love Son of a Preacher Man as the 60s return with Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood on both direction and choreographic duties.

SON OF A PREACHER MAN – Touring

In London theatre, Musicals, Opinion, Regional theatre, Reviews, Touring by Ian Foster13th September 2017Leave a Comment

love a good actor-musician production but here, the integration of musicianship and drama just hasn’t been thought-through, even down to instruments getting in the way of scenes – it feels a token gesture. Similarly, the incorporation of the many classic Dusty songs is cursorily done.

‘Son of a Preacher Man’- we all know the Dusty Springfield classic, but in an age of social media communication and online dating it’s easy to forget the sentiment and soul of the swinging sixties.
