Sister Act

Before the show commenced I had the pleaure of presenting two NODA Long Service Awards. Pam Cooper for her 60  award and Nigel Gaunt, whose parents founded the society and whose daughter is Chairman, for his 50 year award.

Every so often a show comes along and you know that it could pass as professional, and, this was one of them. From start to finish the cast from Tudor gave it their all, and it showed. Deloris Van Carrier was played by Marsha Webbe, a fine actress with a very powerful voice who suited the role to a tee. She was well supported by Sally Jolifee as the Mother Superior of the convent that Deloris hides in. Curtis. The  murderer who is trying to find Deloris was played by Jonathon Blake, who together with his four associaties, played by, Elliott Perlic, James Rowney, Luke Flaherty and Ed Mears played their roles really well. Nathan Rock played Policeman Eddie, who befriends Deloris and takes her to the convent. Speical mention must go to Sister Mary Robert (Hattie Rumsey) and Sister Mary Patrick (Jenny Padley) who really worked well together. Hattie has a wonderful voice and will go onto bigger roles I am sure. There were also some wonderful cameo roles in this production including Paula Lumsden as Sister Mary Lazarus.

The Set, through simple, stood out and having some of the stage crew dressed as choir boys relly worked. Costumes looked really good. Lichfield Light and Sound really got the balance of the wonderful sounding orchestra just right, you could hear every word coming from the stage.

Faye did a great job with this production. Looking forward to seeing you all in Evita.
