Anne-Marie Duff in the title role was one draw for me to book a ticket for this musical, the swansong of Josie Rourke's time at the helm of the Donmar. It's a sad tale of a woman looking for love and escape from her life as a hostess which culminates in her engagement but subsequent jilting by a man from a very different world.
The other draw was that the choreography was by Wayne McGregor. However, it did not really feel like a production in which dance was to the fore. The musical element predominated.
All in all, a pleasant enough evening but not one that was particularly challenging - except for making me think about the dangers of trying to marry oneself into happiness and security.
