All You Need is Love takes audiences back in time to an era of pioneering music, daring fashions and casual attitudes.

With an eclectic mix of songs from the 1960s, the music and dance revue provides a good overview of the genres which dominated the decade.

The performance kicks off in Carnaby Street with favourites such as Twist and Shout, These Boots Are Made For Walking and Dancin' In The Street. This is the part of the era most people can identify with, and the cast successfully conveys the mood in swinging London at the time.

This is followed by a school party section, focusing on the life and loves of the 1960s teenager. Innocent flirting between boys and girls and young love features in performances of songs such as It's My Party, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do and Then He Kissed Me, taking audience members old enough to remember back to simpler times.

Quartets of clean-cut male singers feature in the Four Seasons scene, before the action moves to sun, sea and sand with Beach Boys tunes Surfin Usa and Fun Fun Fun.

The psychedelic era is marked with a Woodstock theme, with laid-back tunes such as Let the Sunshine In and California Dreamin', and the first instalment of Beatles anthems, including Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and All You Need Is Love.

Rolling Stones fans will be pleased with the selection of the band's music in the rock tribute, before the performance moves to a more innocent genre with the harmonious sounds of the Everley Brothers.

The vocal talents really shine in the soul and Motown songs, and the performers are particularly impressive during their renditions of Rollin' and River Deep Mountain High. There is also a very funny, albeit bizarre, moment when two men dress up as women to perform in a tribute act to The Supremes.

The final part of the show focuses on the big names of the time - The Beatles and the King of rock and roll, Elvis. But while five Beatles tracks feature in the show, there are only two Elvis songs. Hardly enough considering his fame and contribution to music.

The finale also feels slightly abrupt and audience members anxious to get up and dance may be disappointed there is no encouragement from the cast to do this at the end, as is typical in other music and dance shows.

With colourful costumes, impressive vocals and fun and lively performances, this show conveys all that was good about the 1960s. There is also no chance of getting bored as the cast quickly moves from one tune to the next and endures endless costume changes.

And the fact singers performed their own interpretation of the songs, rather than attempting to replicate the greats of the era, also made the music feel fresh, interesting and appealing to all age groups, not just the golden oldies.
