So, when Joanne from Love pop up London posted about this new theatrical show at the Vault Theatre and was looking for open minded people to come and review the show, I said "heck yes! I'm there".
The show 'Miss Nightingale' a Mr Bugg Presents Productions, the show based during the second world war of around 1942, a story a young singer / nurse called Maggie Brown. Maggie an aspiring singer was looking for a platform to share her musical talent, together with a gay Polish Jew songwriter, George- trust me you will learn to love him-break into the entertainment industry with songs that would knock a smile on even the saddest of faces.
The story while comical also had an underlying touch of how society deals with homosexuality. While keeping the story lighthearted, the writer managed to address people's behaviour towards this in a real and honest view.
Many of songs preformed was definitely what I would call tongue in cheek, so, if you embarrass easily, then be warned, the sexual innuendo flows smoothly in a "wow, did she really just say that?", if you ask me my favourite of the night was definitely the 'sausage song'- have a listen and you will understand why!
Its been a very long time since I have seen anything that while only having 6 characters in the whole show, each and everyone of them really show their vocal and musical talent as each will and could play a few instruments.
One thing I would say is that theres definitely no heating in the theatre, so make sure you keep your jacket on and maybe a scarf in case you get chilly, drinks was reasonable- cash only- so grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the show!
Thank you for the show Miss Nightingale, find out more www.missnightingale.co.uk
