Rarely is a band mentioned first yet this one was so special they deserve the  highest  praise, their M.D. Rhian Evans was outstanding and  they were all brilliant musicians… their efforts went to make this production the success it was …amazing!!

The opening featured the central role, The Wedding Singer, experienced Matt Bryant as Robbie Hart, Matt is a great all rounder  and so professional dancing, singing and acting, he is an exceptional performer and so versatile. Matt plays the guy destined to be unlucky in  love, despite his career as a  singer at weddings, who goes through it to find the one and yet finds love in the end.

Good to see this show again, it brings with it a chance for any young company to  really rock and dance the night away with some catchy numbers and excellent choreography and sing some high octane fabulous rock numbers, the energy was amazing from this talented cast.

Act 2 opened with a Wow, All About the Green was a phenomenal  number setting the stage alight with fantastic choreography by Choreographers Georgia Miller and Lauren Barratt and the principals singing and dancing made this the highlight of the show with  Simon Shellford as Glen and Matt Bryant who were exceptional,we felt the intensity of this number, the stage presence from  this duo was a force to be reckoned with..brilliant, also well played Sophie Bettridge as Linda, Kody Rosier as George,Tila Edmunds as Rosie ,Laura Andrews as Angie and Caiti Beynon as Tina Turner.

Brilliant parts were also played by Georgia Miller who shone as Julia, Star performer Lauren Barratt,  a showstopper as Holly and all the cast were fantastic playing their roles so well.

From every aspect this show was well thought out by their Director Harry Bayton who also played Sammy, on his debut Harry deserves his accolades. M.D. Rhian Evans also excelled, the pace was amazing.

It was a fabulous show and this was evident from the audience reaction!

Thank you for your kind hospitality we had a fantastic night, enjoyed every minute.
