Peter and the Wolf at the Hackney Empire

Everything should have worked with this production of Peter and the Wolf: it is admirably designed and well costumed, the musicians are from the Philharmonia Orchestra no less and it has Brian Blessed as the predictably larger-than-life narrator. However, as a danced piece, it falls short. Not that anything is bad, just not quite good enough, and too often I found myself being slightly disappointed when I should have been enchanted.
