This was the Musical version first staged in 2007. It was not the easiest one to take on but Rachael certainly rose to the occasion in this very good production, making full use of all the available facilities and achieving the spirit of the piece. Likewise Christopher provided excellent music from stage and pit with nice interpretation throughout. On stage we had an abundance of talent led by Curtis Salmon, great as Peter and Kimberley Brook with a super performance as Wendy. Simon Theobald took on the dual roles of Mr Darling and Captain Hook and gave excellent character performances in both. Jackie Dunn was ideal as the storyteller, lovely diction, while Busra Naseer was very well cast as Tiger Lily, nicely played. There were plenty of comedy moments with the Pirates, led by Liam Hall as a very good Smee, while the Lost Boys were perfect as boys! All on stage played their part establishing the wide range of characters so well. The choreography and dancing fitted in well. The set was magnificent, handled well by the stage crew and the costumes certainly added to the visual effect, helped also by good lighting , sound and props. There must have been a lot of hard work to achieve the end result, but it was certainly worth it.
