Sushi Tap Show (Tokyo Tapdo)
By Lucy Diver | Published on Wednesday 12 August 2015
Few things are trickier than making fake mistakes, but Tokyo Tapdo can tap and trip with equal panache. In this Japanese comedy tap show, much of the humour relies on a seemingly seamless combination of impeccable footwork and choreographed pratfalls. Highlights include a spoof on Riverdance; an audience-participation lesson on “ribbit” and “oink” in Japanese and an extended film-noir tango – with some fun(ny) use of cups. There is some variation in quality – a few numbers fall flat (and not on purpose this time). But the seven-year-old in the front row was giggling away, and I definitely left the theatre smiling. It’s not listed as a children’s show, but it will definitely be a hit with the under twelves.
C, until 30 Aug.
