B.B.L.O.C. Regent Centre Christchurch October 2005 And if Sally Wheeler doesn’t have a star on her dressing room door then someone should put one there right now, because her characterisation of Charity is far more than sweet – it’s absolute perfection. She’s hardly off the stage, and the role is a tour-de-force in which she just doesn’t put a foot wrong. Never were those final curtain cheers so well deserved. When the man of her dreams, Oscar Lindquist (Martyn Knight, who acts as brilliantly as he directs and choreographs), leaves her on the eve of her wedding, I don’t imagine I was the only one who shed a silent tear. There are some great supporting roles too, especially from Nikki Taylor (Nickie), Amanda Alner (Helene) and Annemarie Ferguson (Carmen) as Charity’s dance hall colleagues and David Bate as film star Vittorio Vidal. And the icing on the cake has to be the outstanding chorus work and sensational dancing. In fact, all I can say is ‘wow’. The Fandango Ballroom awaits you, and you really should go there.
