Review: Breakfast at Tiffany's

Hey readers!
It's time for my review of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was announced to be touring the UK and ending up in the West End over a year ago and the wait has finally come to an end.(where did all that time go?) It began performances in the West End a week and a half ago. I was lucky enough to see it last Wednesday and I loved it! Set in New York in 1943,  Fred, a young writer from Louisiana, meets Holly Golightly, a charming, vivacious and utterly elusive good-time girl. Everyone falls in love with Holly – including Fred. But Fred is poor, and Holly’s other suitors include a playboy millionaire and the future president of Brazil. As war rages on in Europe, Holly begins to fall in love with Fred – just as her past catches up with her. In the show Pixie Lott makes her theatre debut as Holly Golightly, and considering she has never done theatre before she was pretty good. I imagine Pixie will get better and better as the run of the show goes on and it'd be great to see her for musical theatre in the future as I'm sure she would be brilliant at it. Despite it being a play, the show does feature some music, with songs including 'Moon River', which is beautifully sung by Pixie. The cast also featured Matt Barber as Fred, Victor McGuire as Joe Bell, Tim Frances as the Editor and Rusty, Charlie De Melo as Jose, Robert Calvert as Doc, Naomi Cranston as Mag, Sevan Stephan as OJ Bearman and Dr. Goldman, Melanie La Barrie as Madame Spanella and Stern Lady Boss, Andrew Joshi as Yunioshi and last but certainly not least... Bob the Cat. I really thought Matt Barber was excellent and you could really see the character develop throughout the play. I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Bob the Cat! He is, by far, the most cutest and best animal actor I have ever seen on the stage. He was just so sweet! The set, lighting and costumes were all great and complemented each other well. Before opening night, one thing I would perhaps change the first 20 minutes, as that part seemed to drag on a little. I really had a great afternoon out, great cast, great story and great production!

The featured star of Breakfast at Tiffany's is, drum roll please... MATT BARBER!

Matt really took the audience along the journey of his character and showed great character development. He has very good chemistry alongside Pixie and had a great charisma! The perfect leading man!

Now for my final verdict on Breakfast at Tiffany's. I give Breakfast at Tiffany's...

The show is a limited run until September at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, so if this sounds like your type of show or you're a fan of Pixie Lott make sure to get yourself a ticket!
