Once again you have pulled a winner out of the hat! Well done everyone on a superb evening's entertainment, which had me laughing from start to finish.
Never having seen this show before, I was not sure what to expect, but it was sophisticated revue / satire in the best tradition, sometime Sondheim, sometime Tom Lehrer etc. I loved the lyrics, the excellent dialogue and the splendidly disciplined cast of 8 who held the whole together with such expertise.
The super multi-layered set caught our interest throughout and I loved the little interludes from the musicians during the changes. Bliss!
Costumes were well-co-ordinated, suiting each particular scene and mood and how attractive some were, especially your couple-matching Finale.
The singing was of the highest order and I compliment you all but I did have a special fondness for the "Bridesmaid" and for Rose's dating video. I must also make a special mention of the wonderful "Driving" scene which I found hilarious, apart from being ingenious on 4 swivel chairs - great entertainment!
You are all to be congratulated, especially the Production Team but you also Steve, for having the vision, along with your fellow directors, in introducing fresh works to audiences. Long may it continue!
My special thanks are sent to F.O.H. who looked after Denis and me so splendidly and for the generous hospitality. I was even taken back-stage which was interesting as I had never seen the workings of the Olympus before.
