It had to be you! By Dru's Delight 'When Harry met Sally'. 03.00 pm 19/02/2004 - Theatre Royal Haymarket. As a newcomer to live theatre, I didn't know what to expect.  What I found was an interesting adaptation of a much loved movie.  I was never a fan of Luke Perry, but I was pleasantly surprised at his natural stage presence.  He carried the role of the commitment phobic, Harry with ease and a natural humour that, while different to Billy Crystal, still projected the same sarcastic air of being slightly out of step with the world.  Alyson Hannigan was, as ever, the same consummate actress that we have all come to love over the years.  After a slightly shaky start, she settled into the persona of the overly methodical Sally without missing a beat.  On a personal note, it took me a few minutes to get used to Alysons projected voice as opposed to the more intimate, close up dialogue used in her film and TV roles.  When I had got over this (in a very short time) Alyson was once again her sweet and sassy self in a very slick and funny adaptation.  Especially in The scene in the diner which she played superbly and with finesse, Earning her a well deserved ovation from the audience. The production itself was both imaginative and innovative in it's use of electronic and visual effects on what was a minimalist stage setting.  Especially the use of sliding doors in front of the stage that were used, with lighting effects, to create stunningly real split screen effects and excellent quick cut effects between two different scenes.  These sliding doors were also used as a projection screen to show black and white film interviews with long term married couples - as in the movie - the only difference in that at the end Sally and Harry also did their own film interview, that helped tie up the final scene in an intelligent and amusing manner. All in all, a highly enjoyable performance by two excellent leads and a wonderfully funny supporting cast. The music was provided by that young lion of British Jazz, Jamie Cullum with some wonderful re-orchestrations of Jazz and Swing classics.  A show I would recommend anyone to see. A show that has converted me to live theatre.
