Returning to Hoxton Hall with a new cast, Stuart Wood's riotously gay music hall musical is tentatively on its way to becoming the type of East End institution that it celebrates with such gusto. It's the eve of Frank's wedding to his partner Alan and in preparation for his new life, he is purging his old one by getting rid of the vintage dresses in his closet. Wood's script suggests that gay culture is in danger of losing its rich otherness, subsumed into a blandly accepting twenty first century whole. Unfortunately it's not a point suggested particularly well, thanks largely to Gary Amers' cold fish of a Frank. Nonetheless, the songs are excellent, ooompahing away with top-grade innuendo, and if Frank lacks a heart, the production itself pulses with the exuberance of old London taaaarn.
