Last night, I went to the press night of Betwixt! at Trafalgar Studios 2. And then I went to the afterparty and took some photos.
In the tiny space of Trafalgar Studios’ basement, a new(ish) musical emerges that embodies the best of the West End and Broadway tradition. It also has one or two of the genre’s pitfalls, but in general Betwixt! The Musical is overflowing with charm, laughs and romance, such that it feels the small space cannot truly contain it.
That’s partly because the space is overflowing with performers - a cast of nine, plus three musicians, fight for space on a stage that is more suited to far smaller numbers. Mostly, though, it’s because there’s an effervescent confidence running throughout.
