'When Midnight Strikes' at the Finborough Theatre
by Robert Gould - Sep 27, 2007


The old millennium is in its dying moments and the new millennium is about to begin as a group of friends, lovers and ex-lovers gather in a Manhattan loft apartment on New Year's Eve. As the plot develops, relationships and friendships also witness their dying moments while others develop new beginnings as past mistakes collide with new resolutions. Add to this a bright, tuneful and witty score by composer Charles Miller and librettist/lyricist, Kevin Hammonds and you have the ingredients for a highly enjoyable musical - which is precisely what is currently on the menu at the London fringe venue, the Finborough Theatre (until September 29).When Midnight Strikes, cleverly directed in the theatre?s tiny but highly atmospheric space by Fenton Gray, is a sheer delight.
