‘Fun, silly, spoofy & full of gags’: SUMMER STREET – Waterloo East Theatre ★★★★
Everything is a little brighter on Summer Street, or in this case Waterloo East Theatre.

A whirlwind of big hair, 80s hits, innuendos and humour, Nick Winston’s Club Tropicana isn’t a musical masterpiece but it is a whole lot of fun and a harmless piece of entertainment.
