This show promised to be the Rock 'n' Roll Musicals in Concert. But it turns out to be a medley of disjointed sing-a-longs and ballads chosen by the four main artists, writes Victoria Owen.

Eighties' pop singer Limahl, of Kajagoogoo fame, has resurfaced for the production and seemed to draw in the crowds. But except for his extraordinary dress sense, this show has little else in entertainment value.

He is accompanied by Gwen Dickey, billed as The Voice behind the seventies' band, Rose Royce.

Most people would pass Dickey on the street without notice. But most would remember their hits, which include the era's spandex-ed and sequined theme tune Car Wash and the more chocolate smooth tracks Wishing on a Star and Love Don't Live Here Anymore.

The pair are obviously desperate for a comeback, but their desperation is pathetically tangible and there is no real spark to re-light their fires of fame.

Backing up their ego-trip performances, are Melanie Marshall and Lincoln Lockhart.

Despite a catalogue of impressive credits to her name, Marshall's talents certainly don't lie in cabaret-style entertainment. As she tottered around last night on sparkly high-heeled sandals, it was obvious that her place is not here.

Similarly, Lockhart has a voice to die for and, as a soul singer, would not look out of place. But in this performance, his talents are hardly used and he looks thoroughly bored with the whole event.

The show's songs had little continuity and included toe-tapping Abba hits and favourites from Grease, to former chart hits like Footloose and Pinball Wizard.

These were embroidered with dance from the What a Feeling dancers - with unimaginative costumes and choreography, care of director Bruno Tonioli.

Four lads called 4 The Boyz also cut a jig. We are told in the programme that they are the all-new boy sensation, but they were more like a supermarket brand chocolate bar - just not the real thing.

Despite the tackiness of the show, the audience seemed to enjoy the extravaganza, and a third of the eclectic mix of middle-aged mums to teenagers were dancing in the aisles by the end.
