Sister Act

WOW and WOW again!   What a simply fantastic show.  From the opening scene when we met "Deloris Van Cartier" - played superbly by 17 year old Grace Hodgett-Young. What a terrific performer this young lady is, and she was so well supported by Lizzie Fenner as Mother Superior .  All of the "Sisters" had their own characters and came over brilliantly throughout the show.  The gentlemen made the most of their roles  - not always easy in a show like "Sister Act".  Special mention to Stan Cook as "Eddie" - not an easy part but he was just great - one of the best "Eddies" I have seen. The singing throughout was superb as was the dancing - especially with those quick-changes to glam and glitz!   It is not possible to mention everyone in the cast but you were all terrific. The orchestra was just brilliant thanks to your M.D. Geoff Burnill. The stage crew worked so well throughout with so many quick changes of sets between scenes. I  have always enjoyed "Sister Act" and this  one was so refreshing with  many of the cast in their late teens and everyone on stage obviously enjoying themselves as were the audience.  Congratulations to your director Matt Wesson and choreographer Sophie Petruccio-Hall - they must be so proud of you all.  Thank you for inviting me and for your hospitality.
