The regent theatre: a multi-award winning musical

Regent Theater in Hanley

The Regent Theatre is located in the centre of Hanley, more precisely in Piccadilly, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire ST1 1AP. It is a theatre with an enthralling ambiance which reminds me the 60's.
 I went to see a very well-known musical called Anything Goes directed by Cole Porter. It was played for the first time in Broadway in 1934. This musical  was rewarded several times and was adapted three times to the cinema.  It is a two-act musical  which lasts for about one hour each.

Inside the theater 

During the show 

Anything Goes takes place on a ship in which Billy is a stowaway who wants to win the heart of the beautiful Hope and prevent her from getting  married to the powerful Sir Evelyn, while Hope’s mother wants to see her daughter getting married to him to become rich. Billy was the wanted man on that ship but he was friendly surrounded by everybody when the crew discovered that he was the public enemy number one. After that crew member put him in jail along with his friend Moonface. Finally the wedding between Hope and Sir Evelyn is cancelled, and then he got married to Reno the singer while on the other hand Billy finds Hope.

Prices range from 12.5 to 40 pounds. Even though  I had the least expensive seat I found myself well placed. The sound was astonishing, the lights was varied and with very high quality. I did not understand all the dialogues but the movements of comedians allowed me to understand almost all scenes.

 The orchestra and the voices of comedians especially of Reno were amazing. It is a musical  that I will recommend to all with a blend of rhythm and energy throughout the two hours. I was so excited that almost I was about to jump on the stage to sing and dance with them. All in all it was one of my best moments in Stoke. 

NB : it was prohibited to take pictures during the show but the staff enabled to me to take few pictures and a short video.
