Leading industry newspaper and website "The Stage", finally published their glowing review of the Edinburgh production of "Over The Threshold", 2 weeks after it closed, but just in time for the London run which starts THIS WEEK at the Jermyn Street Theatre...
"Jomo Productions’
Over the Threshold is a light, domestic comedy musical sung excellently
by its four leads. It is set over one night in a house in London as two
couples flirt, dally with infidelity, learn about themselves and become
reconciled.
Ranging from
powerfully belted out solos to some sophisticated group numbers, the
show’s tunes are catchy and musically original at times. As the story
unfolds and the couples from different floors on the same building
decide whether to sleep with each other, the gentle pace quickens and
the songs have a sometimes quirkier, sometimes more reflective
dimension.
No one of the
performers is a weak link and each has charm and charisma enough to
carry off the rather weak plot. The script, though, is snappy and
realistic, and Over the Threshold does manage to capture something of
middle class angst and relationships without becoming too much like a
sung soap opera.
Overall, this is a classy piece of work delivered by a gifted cast."
