Bringing the evening to a close soloists and company gave a powerhouse rendition of Tina Turner’s “River Deep, Mountain High”. After the performance the audience stayed to finish their drinks and talk to their friends in the cast. It was evident live theatre is more than just a sit-andwatch experience.
