Review: Hairy MacLary

Hairy MacLary and Friends is a nice piece of children's theatre for young audiences who are fans of the Hairy MacLary children's books by Lynley Dodd.

Taking the audience through a series of stories from the books we are shown Hairy MacLary's life involving himself and his friends. The music is simple and catchy and the young audience members enjoyed seeing the stories they knew so well unfold in front of them.

Carrie Mancini opens the show as Hairy McLary's owner and does so with the qualities that only children's television presenters know how.

Some stories looked a tad chaotic under the direction of Bruce Strachan however the calm of the final story about a duck left the audience with a smile on their face.

An enjoyable piece of Children's musical theatre.
