Gingers! The Musical

Musical Theatre @ George Square    6 - 31 August @ 11.15    Dirty Pop

“Beauty is in the heart, not in the hair” – so goes the tag line for Gingers, the musical where we meet a disparate group of women who are attending a 'Ginger Retreat'. Through the course of the weekend, we hear about the drawbacks of having ginger hair along with all their trials and tribulations as they express their inner fears and insecurities. Each character has their own song and style - from the shy, insecure girl to the prom princess wag - and each finding friendship and comfort along the way. They draw strength and encouragement from each other through some entertaining numbers including “I Have Red Hair” and “Always” both of which stand out. The orange theme is continued in the set designs and in an extravagant dance number complete with fans! Perhaps the most poignant song, “Fake”, brings home the message most of all as one of the girls confesses to being a non-Ginger and is, instead, seeking friendship. An enjoyable production whether you have ginger hair or not!
