The much loved and much lauded Finborough Theatre appeared to have taken a sidestep here with a baffling musical based on an early Russian silent movie. There is little to add to my review for The Stage. Did I miss some irony that might have made it all make sense? At least the Wine Cafe is in perfect working order downstairs and afforded me a chance to play catch-up on here. On a side note, Penelope Keith's appearance did remind me of an old Offie nomination that got dumped within the formative months of the awards. There was a nomination originally scheduled for Best Off-The-Wall Moment. I was aching to include the time I saw Debbie McGee toking on a 6 foot doobie in Frank's Closet but unfortunately that was in 2009. Keith's inclusion here would be a serious contender.
