Review | Understudy Cruella De Vil shines as Steps star goes off ahead of 101 Dalmatians press night
Simple story drags but remains magical
First-night-itis strikes again at the Edinburgh press night of 101 Dalmatians with Steps’ star Faye Tozer on the sick list much as Matt Cardle was when & Juliet came to town, as was Jason Donovan when The Rocky Horror Show came to Glasgow. On both those previous occasions, the alternate to the star name proved top notch and so it was with 101 Dalmatians, understudy Rachel Lee-Gray proving a sassy, sexy and deliciously wicked Cruella De Vil. In a quite fabulous performance, Lee-Gray relished her every sashay, song and moment of evil intent, marking her out as an exciting star of the future.
