The show tells the story of
Rose O'Brannegan, a London 'barrow girl' who gets left a fortune by her
uncle Alistair. Our plucky heroine soon takes on the lifestyle of the
'well to do' and goes in search of her long-lost husband, William Bailey
O'Brannegan. Rose's search takes her to New Orleans, America.
During the show songs such
as On the Sunny side of the Street, Hello Dolly, Don't
Dilly dally on the Way, Mame, and of course 'On Mother Kelly's
Doorstep, are performed.
All of the music has been beautifully
arranged and digitally recorded in an unforgettable traditional style
which immediately takes the audience back to the time when music really
was music...
Set in two 45-minute acts with
a 20 minute interval, the show (complete with its own overture) is packed
with nostalgic, foot-tapping, irresistible tunes, and the audience is
encouraged to sing along.
Rose O'Brannegan is played
by Fiona Harrison who is renowned for her gorgeous costumes. During this
production Fiona wears period attire to complement the magic of yesteryear.
It results in a most enjoyable experience; very well received.
