Be Mine!

2009 Robin Howard Theatre / Resolution, The Place / Jackson Lane Theatre / Cloud Dance Festival

Set to an uplifting collection of Judy Garland’s classic recordings, Be Mine is a glittering romp into the long forgotten world of old school romance. Dancers glide through the hard edged spotlights of yesteryear, bringing with them an effortless sense of mischief. Drawing from the era of Vaudeville, this piece provides moments of pure escapism and an optimism that carries with it a proud edge of theatrical hope.

‘Nine talented dancers put the “fab” into “fabulous” in Drew McOnie’s super-sweet closing number– set to a suite of Judy Garland show tunes, Be Mine is gloriously, unashamedly MGM-camp, with a delicacy and musical sensitivity that make this effervescent confection impossible to resist. Moments of poignancy and humour give life to the technical workouts; men in their underpants shave to the rhythm while women high-kick and sashay across the floor; and Fred’n’Ginger seem to possess the whole cast. Rose-tinted and sparkling like pink champagne, it’s the perfect season finale.’
