We will amaze you beyond all reason)… and please, please hold on to your hats whilst we escort you into the incredible, amazing, wonderful, phenomenal, fabulously incredible world of… THE AMAZING MISS ROSIE COOPER CHANDELIER SPECTACULAR!”
Yes - “The Amazing Miss Rosie Cooper Chandelier Spectacular” is about to make its London debut in the sumptuous main theatre at the Hackney Empire, after its sell-out one-night-only show at “Hoellenfahrt” theatre festival in Vienna.
In Vienna, most of the audience went wild for the show – shouting out after the climax “Again! Again!”, waiting in the auditorium, glued to their seats, keeping up their applause for a little too long… Perhaps with the idea that, in answer to all of their praise, the show would indeed be repeated, or that something else to top it (if that were possible!) would spring out from the wings and on to the stage.
However, as the moments drew on, and the applause gradually lost its natural momentum, the audience realised that all was left for them to do was to slowly file out of the theatre, have a drink at the bar, and perhaps discreetly watch Rosie Cooper and her assistants as she toasts the all-round success of the show with a little champagne.
