Princess Essex review – black beauty queen turns Edwardian idiocy on itself
From: The Guardian | Date: 9/23/2024
There’s a vaudevillian vibe to the show, beautiful Edwardian-meets-burlesque costumes, and ensemble musical numbers lightening the serious subject matter. There are moments of sparkling comic acting: from Odeke, Eloise Secker daintily scuttling about as beauty queen Violet, John Cummins as a bratty Edward VII. Alison Halstead is captivating not only as Batwa, but even in minor ensemble roles.
