GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY
 

 

 

It’s 1985 and Richard Street, Liverpool, is under threat of the bulldozers. The council are determined to clear some space for ‘urban renewal’, and it seems nothing can stand in their way - except Molly Eldon. The battle is on and Molly - played wonderfully well by Sonia - is getting the old band, Ronnie Angel and the Devils, back together to sing hits from the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties that keep the audience’s feet tapping throughout.

With a selection of great songs, some scintillating dialogue and performances from a cast that know what turns their audiences on, Good Golly Miss Molly puts Bob Eaton on a hat-trick of directorial hits to follow Brick Up the Mersey Tunnels and Lost Soul brilliantly.

With such a versatile cast, it’s good to see the major parts being rotated throughout the company. Andrew Schofield and Eithne Browne may take a something of a backseat in this show, but nevertheless deliver two more impeccable outings, while Davey Edge takes the plaudits, playing Ronnie with some fine acting, wonderful vocals and slick timing. Also worthy of mention is Liverpool stalwart Carl Chase who - while not only being a very fine actor - can also sing, dance and growl with the best of them.

Using a delightfully simple yet effective set designed by Billy Meall to the full, and with more costume changes than could be counted, Good Golly Miss Molly is a foot-stompingly good night out and another sure-fire winner from all those involved.
