AIDA

The principal cast consisted of:

Maeve Dolan (Ammeris) – The daughter of Pharaoh. Commanded the stage in every scene and had no difficulty letting you know she was sassy and stylish and in charge. Her array of emotions shone through and her portrayal of “I know the Truth” was beautifully done.

Ashley Clifford (Radames) – Son of Zoser.Expertly portrayed the struggle of duties v heart. Characterisation, vocal and singing ability and stage presence added to a wonderful character.

Rachel Fisher (Aida) – daughter of has a beautiful natural voice together with good characterisation and excellent chemistry with those she shares a stage with.Rachel always continues to impress and delight.

Matthew Sweet (Mereb) – servant to Radames.Was played extremely well and had extremely good comedic timing. He had an excellent duet with Aida “How I Know You” and achieves a touching final moment.

Harry Laidlow (Zoser) - Father to Radames and advisor to Pharoah. Oozed evil perfectly and “Like Father Like Son” was fantastic.

Oliver Jackson (Pharoah), Kaitlin Berridge (Nehebka) and Tom Hargrave (Amonasro) - Smaller but all excellently played part showing a range of emotions.

Costumes were very well suited to the age of the musical. The set was simple but effective together with the lighting.

Choreography was excellent and the chorus added to this enjoyable musical.
