Review : Rosa Waxes Lyrical

Rosa Waxes Lyrical
Creative Cat
If you are a bra-burning militant feminist of the '60s do not see this show: if you are anybody else, do. Rosa the Russian beautician does her best to persuade the audience that being folically challenged from the neck down will bring you success in life; that is when she is not talking about herself or name-dropping of course. She is joined by her faithful pianist who can only be described as having Tim Minchin's eyes, Bill Bailey's hair and Droopy Dog's expression, and who steals a proportion of the show. The material is very comical and Rosa has an excellent singing voice, but she lacks the immediate comic one-liners when she converses with the crowd. Egotistical, arrogant comedy.
