Ben Elton’s bants-heavy compilation musical about Sixties survivor Twiggy is pretty thin stuff. It slots period-appropriate pop hits into an abbreviated, sycophantic telling of the Neasden-born model’s first 33 years, stopping abruptly in 1982.
It’s strident, squawky and front-loaded with irony, the cast joshing and eye-rolling with the audience from the start. In the lead role, Elena Skye has a strong, rocky voice and a sarcastic, gorblimey swagger, but she’s a tentative dancer and has been given some truly terrible wigs.
