ALL round entertainment and all round enjoyment is yours, courtesy of the cast and crew of the Playgoers' musical Annie Get Your Gun.
Mosey on down to the Riverhead theatre and let yourself be transported, in all senses of the word, by some fine set designs that glide along, taking you from Wild West shows to an ocean-going liner via hotel gardens and even an overnight train.
This production looks stunning with its cast truly resplendant in colourful costume whilst the everlasting reputation of Irving Berlin's songs, brought to life and heard in their original settings, ensures you will be leaving the theatre singing well-loved clasics such as Anything You Can Do and There's No Business Like Showbusiness.
In the title role Pippa Molloy gives a mighty fine performance; blending gentle romance and fiery outbursts of temper in equal measure with equal success and she gives us some marvellous comedy moments along the way.
Quite simply, she is just downright funny and she has the audience behind her 100 per cent in her quest to win over the dazzling star of the Wild West, Frank Butler, played dazzlingly and dynamically throughout by Scott Royle.
The four youngsters on stage have a grand time, thoroughly enjoying the experience and producing fine work whilst the principal players offer strong support, each displaying their many talents but special mention must go to Louise Bates for her brilliant portrayal as Dolly Tate, the star struck assistant eager to cash in on fame and fortune.
The show is a fitting celebration of its director John Lill, for whom this will be the 47th and final musical.
What an amazing achievement that is and we surely owe John a huge debt of gratitude.
Over the years audiences have gladly paid him back with happiness, in smiles and with applause: thank you Mr Lill – for everything.
The musical runs until Saturday May 24.
