Shine Again

Thank you for inviting me to see your performance of Shine Again; a journey though musical theatre. It was lovely to meet so many of your team and thank you for making me feel so welcome.

I was so impressed with the cast and amazed by the talent and confidence of these seven performers. With so few on stage each person had a lot to do, and they all had great stage presence and were in character all the time. Everyone had clear diction and great delivery in both the sketches and the songs, and they worked well together as a team in the group numbers. They all engaged with the audience, and it was clear from the beginning that they were really enjoying performing.

This was the director’s debut and she had obviously worked really hard with this group of young people on their acting and singing to produce great characterisation and delivery, whilst keeping the performance light-hearted and fun. The choreographers had deivsed dance and movement that was vibrant and fun. With such a small group of performers it would be easy for them to feel nervous and exposed, but the production team had clearly given them confidence to perform and enjoy themselves.
