Grease

This performance by TOADS was a quality one. Grease was simply excellently done. The audience, right from the start, was listening intently, not only to the great music under the skilful baton of John Amery but to the words of both acting and singing. Superb performances by everyone. This was a production that was well worth being put on in the West-End and I say that with no exaggeration!

Danny Zuko (Adam French)  and Sandy Dumbrowski (Harriet Loveridge) looked the parts, acted and sang the parts with enthusiasm, got the characters spot on, and complemented each other so well. Throughout this show the casting was great   

Never have I found mentioning individual actors so difficult, because I am going to say the same about each one. Everyone put their all into it, therefore I am not going down that route, other than mentioning the two leads as I have done. The choreography was magnificent and captured the era exactly as did the whole production. My heartiest congratulations to Elaine Johnson, what ability!

The costumes and set, colourful, absolutely appropriate and backstage crew seamless. Backed up by a super chorus, all the principals shone, which made the show go with a swing. I believe 'Grease' deserves to be recognised as one of TOADS best and a full theatre the night I attended proves its popularity. To sum up this production was nothing short of faultless.

Many Congratulations to Director Ruth Bettesworth and everyone involved in this most enjoyable and slick performance.
