Innerleithan and District Amateur Operatic Society-Sunshine on Leith

A captivating musical packed full of memorable numbers, thought provoking book which were all delivered to a very high standard by the principals and ensemble alike.

I am amazed at the quality of stage management given the extreme restrictions of the Memorial Hall, well done to the backstage team.

A very clever use of the settings within the book delivering at times some very poignant moments within the show, coupled with many comedic moments.

I very much enjoyed the effective choreography which added greatly to the show. The ensemble was fully of energy which brought a deal of human reality to the production.

The principal team of Davy - Jonnie M-G, Ally - Colin Tweedie, Liz - Rosie Grahamn, Yvonne - Nicole Graham, Rab - Roger Brydon, Jean - Nicola Watt and Eilidh - Ariadne Wallace for me, gave very ‘human and powerful’ interpretations and empathy of their respective characters. Stunning vocals from said further enhanced the delivery of this production.
