Director Jane Howell has a super cast for this show. A great evening's entertainment of musical numbers from a good range of shows, some the Society have preformed in the past productions and others from the West End. I also liked the idea of the sketches which added comedy.

Musical Director Jonathan Spratt has worked hard with the singing and there were some stand out performances. The Orchestra all worked well under his direction and kept the pace up.

The Choreography was also good and all numbers moved well and suited all abilities, and you could tell everyone was having a good time. I really liked 'One' from Chorus Line and the opening 'Can't Stop the Beat' Hairspray.

It's a nice new theatre venue with excellent facilities, and sound and lighting were good. The costumes were very colourful, with lots of quick changes between numbers, with great attention to detail on the costumes for the Made in Dagenham and Titanic section.

Stand out solos for me were definitely Richard Bennett singing 'If I Were a Rich Man' and Charlie Squires with 'She Used to be Mine' from Waitress, and Tamsin Barnes 'Now That I've Seen Her' Miss Saigon. Special mention to Peter Ansell with 'Modern Major General' from Pirates of Penzance.

Lots of great songs and a good evening's entertainment. We'll done everyone.
