QUICK REVIEW

Set in Vienna in the Springtime: featuring a conflict between a father an his son: laced with overtures of romance – and, through it all, a score comprising some of the most loved waltzes ever written by the Strauss family on whose lives the plot is based, and who are truly regarded as the greatest waltz composers of all time. Among a host of tunes, this show contains both 'The Radetzky March" and, of course, "The Blue Danube ".
