Having given up his succession to the Egyptian throne to rescue the slaves, Go! The Musical follows Moses, flipping between his royal past amongst palace scribes and astrologers and his battle against bitter disillusionment in the desert. It seems that the prince's desperate journey is doomed - what happens when the promise of freedom from dictatorship threatens to fade back into oppression? Faced with rebellion by people who want to return to Egypt and caught between two identities, Moses is an embattled freedom fighter who must now decide whether to follow Pharaoh's advice and crack down hard.
Saw this show at The Gatehouse yesterday, 24th July. The small auditorium was pretty full and the audience appeared to appreciate the performance overall. The production feel was pretty good, certainly given the stage the show is at. The cast were committed and did a good job, again within the level. The leads were great and I thought stood above the content they were delivering. I think the content was in need of further honing, specifically to delivery it's message more succinctly as well as giving more confidence that the show really understood it's own objectives. It felt as though there could be the core of a future production but at the moment it lacks clear definition. Still worth a watch to see the cast performances and speculate about the shoe's future.
