Fun but empty-headed, 9 November 1998
7/10

It's Hutton's show all the way, and she is up to the task. It involves one of those tiresome plots where people jump to conclusions and all sorts of complications arise because people refuse to behave reasonably. Luckily one character -- the Stork Club manager -- does behave so, and the level of frustration is kept low because of it. The songs are okay, the production glossy, and the cast likeable. All in all, innocuous entertainment.
