Kitchen W8 is a bargain for this area, if such sophistication is what you crave
Kitchen W8
Too long and drawn out but very entertaining with excellent special effects
This is a peculiar play and does not work for me. Some of it is very funny but there are real flaws
Alex has a strong powerful voice and was faultless, she is far better now than she was on the X-Factor

Cary Grant: a hapless New York advertising executive
If you want to confirm what an extraordinary director Alfred Hitchcock was, and what an exceptional star Cary Grant was, too, there’s nothing much better for pure entertainment than this re-released chase thriller.
There are some obvious mistakes, one of which was the fact that Grant was exactly the same age as actress Jesse Royce Landis when they did the film in 1959, and she appears as his mother.
Otherwise, the poor New York advertising executive (Grant), who is mistaken for a crook and chased half way across America, has a terrible time, with Hitch clearly smirking in the background as he devises ever more spectacular tropes, the chief of which is the crop-dusting sequence.
