Pacino goes to stage right, getting round quickly? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegro

'quickly?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pacino goes to stage right getting round' is the wordplay.
'pacino' becomes 'al' (Al Pacino).
'goes to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'stage' becomes 'leg' ('leg' can be a synonym of 'stage'**).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'getting round' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'al'+'leg'+'r'+'o'='ALLEGRO'

(Other definitions for allegro that I've seen before include "In a brisk and lively manner" , "rather quickly" , "In music, fast and lively" , "'At a brisk speed, musically (7)'" , "Moving fast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
