Review: DIVERSITY: SUPERNOVA, De Montfort Hall, Leicester
by Laura Lott - Apr 17, 2024

There are stunning, tightly choreographed dance routines, impressive production values, up-to-the-minute technology, music loud enough to reverberate through your spine, and heavy doses of both humour and earnestness. Oh, and it rains on stage. This is bold, flashy entertainment underpinned by incredible talent.
