Another evening of class entertainment from this society.  The show, a well-structured vehicle which spanned life, hopes and dreams, youth and old age, started with Facade from  `Jekyll and Hyde,` which was slick,  and set the tone for the songs from the other well-known musicals that followed.  The youth of the society provided some sparkling contributions throughout, and they have certainly got some gems amongst them.

The quality of the singing was well maintained, with notable contributions by all of the cast, which is what revue is all about,  something for all, young and old.  A most impressive dance to `Dream Girls`, along with superb costumes gave this production a glitzy edge.  I would have liked the stage to have been more brightly lit, to show off the costumes to greater effect, but that is my only personal gripe.

A good well balance musical group led by Ron Newsham  gave excellent support.

A well directed show by Debbie,  a great reward for all the hard work.
