Cleverly written and adapted from the Dahl poems, the show was slick and silly, funny and furiously paced throughout.
Introducing himself to lively hip hop music and vibrant coloured lighting Amos bounced onstage describing the Oz interpretation of Art Deco, Regal Theatre as “Lovely inside and very ugly outside.” So true!
To me Leung is less a comedian and more of an incredibly talented writer. The way he weaves multiple references into his show and then refers back to them much further on in his monologue is brilliant.
As the line-up is never announced prior to the show, a "Gala" can sometimes be a bit of a hit and miss affair. I am happy to report this show was a cracker!
I wish I could report that like so many others I was riveted by this much anticipated production. Gatz simply wore me out.
This is a lovingly told story of family life in the East end of London, a lower income suburb, traditionally home to a large population of Jewish refugees, many from Eastern Europe.
