Testimonials from our audience
Beverley Simpson
“Myself and a friend went to see this tonight! AWESOME! What a fabulous variety of musicals old and new… The cast are exceptional upcoming talents, fronted by a live mini orchestra, live singing, fully choreographed jukebox variety style musical! We really enjoyed ourselves… well worth a watch!!!! Well done to all involved.”
Matthew Rose
“What a fantastic performance, well done to everyone. The lighting and sound was spot on, orchestra not too loud to drown out the voices. Tony at his best as usual, Iona played a sterling part along with the daughters. A most enjoyable evening not to be missed. If you don’t have a ticket get one now before it is too late, we are so lucky on the Island to have such talent.”
