Dancing in our seats

Went with Kevin to see ‘Dancing in the Streets’ at the Cambridge Theatre yesterday. It was a celebration of Motown’s greatest hits, and wasn’t really a musical but just some live covers of great hits. I was a deprived child musically and didn’t listen to much music when I was younger, but even I recognised quite a few of these tunes. All the stars were covered, including Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Temptations and Marvin Gaye, and the audience was soon on their feet, boogying to the tunes. Even really old people with mobility problems were strutting their stuff, but thankfully the only first aid we had to give was to a lady who’d developed a bad blister. The show was loads of fun and the energy was electric. Go and see it! Gotta laugh at some of the hairstyles though. Did the cool kids of the 1960s really have locks like that? They looked as fashionable as the 1990s pudding bowl cuts! Not that I can talk.
