This production was a fantastic evening’s entertainment from this very very talented theatre group aged from four years old infants to eighteen year old senior members.

The show programme consisted of old and new musical theatre shows, like ‘The Boyfriend’, and Miss Saigon, to the classical pop of ‘The Everly’s and the Blues Brothers. In all these routines the solos, choral work and choreography, were all superb and very precise, and a great pleasure to watch and listen to, whether they were being performed by the infants or the senior members or both. A very big thankyou to everyone involved.

Personal highlights for me included the two comedy routines. Firstly we had the young couple singing and enjoying each others company sitting on a wall , and being interrupted by another would be lothario. The antics of the trio during the performance was comic genius. Equally comic was the performance of the British mens Olympic synchronized swimming team. Congratulations to the team whose idea it was, because the routine was absolutely brilliant. My highlights in the singing and choral routines, included George Usher and the boys singing, ‘Try Everything’, The Juniors gave us a taste of their forthcoming production of ‘Be A Giant’ which was very entertaining, and a show not to be missed. I loved the Miss Saigon routine, particularly ‘They’re called Buidoi’, which is one of my musical theatre favourites, and oh boy, the company certainly did it justice.

What more can I say about this production??.The soundtracks were very good, the narrations by the performing members were excellent. As a whole this was a wonderful evenings entertainment by this very talented young company. Thankyou for your hospitality, and a brilliant evening at the Sands.
