A day of writing and catching up with projects followed by a visit to the Colonial Theatre for ‘I Love Lucy: Live on Stage‘.

As a hardcore lifetime fan of I Love Lucy, I will have to agree with the reviews that this was uncomplicated nostalgic fun but little more. The four main actors do a great job of looking, moving and sounding like Lucy, Ricky, Ethel (my favourite of the four) and Fred – and the songs/variety are good fun, although the show does lack confidence and depth, occasionally falters (e.g. could have done without the planted audience sections) and doesn’t quite capture the vintage aesthetics or wit of the show.
