Review: Mods & Rox – New Wolsey
The autumn season at the New Wolsey Theatre has opened with a bang, with a brand new musical, Mods and Rox. This year the team at the New Wolsey has joined forces with Paul Sirett, writer of Reasons to Be Cheerful, the hugely popular collaboration with the Graeae theatre Company, to create a musical version of Cyrano de Bergerac, using ‘mod’ songs from the Swinging Sixties.
Extremely funny in places and very moving in others, Mods and Rox is a fast paced, high-energy production. The cast of talented actor musicians are truly brilliant – something we have come to expect from New Wolsey shows and this is one performance that doesn’t disappoint.
Will Cyril get his girl? – Well, you’ll just have to book your tickets and go see Mods & Rox to find out… and along the way you are in for a truly musical treat.
Mods & Rox is at the New Wolsey Theatre until Saturday 29th September. To book tickets contact the Box Office on 01473 295900 or visit www.wolseytheatre.co.uk
