Meet The Dreams - a young, talented trio - Effie, Lorrell and Deena - singing their way through the turbulent 1960s, a revolutionary time in American music history dominated by the civil rights movement, the assassination of US President John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

This time I arrived firm in the belief that laughter from the audience would be welcomed rather than muffled! In his West End debut, Danny DeVito proves his comedy credentials as Willie Clark, one half of a golden comedy duo of yester-year. We learn that after enduring a Vaudeville career spanning 43 years together, the legendary 'Clark and Lewis' stopped speaking to eachother and Lewis opted to retire. With no contact for over a decade Willie Cl...
