Sally (29Jun16): An absolutely spell bound , breathtaking performance. So brilliantly performed and directed.I have never been to such a wonderful show out of at least 50. The scenery was fantastic, never noticing the magical ways each scene was moved. The lighting and sound and effects were stunning,eg the lightning too. The audeience I took with Arthritis Care group from Caernarfon, have since talked incessantly about the wonder of it all. The costumes were brilliant. The singing outstandingly superb. I can't find enough toworthy all of the show. I had to buy tickets at the end for my daughter and husband to go too and travel 80 miles to baby sit which I knew woud be so worthwhile. MThey both absolutely loved it too and we are still talking about it. Please o pleasepass on our congratulations and thanks to all the actors-everyone and the stage crew and the producer and Choreographer and all who gave us an everlasting memory of a wonderful show-BRILLIANT-from Sally &Co 5
David L (13Feb16): At Swan High Wycombe - Sat 13 Feb 2016 - an outstanding show - brilliant entertainment for whole family! 5
Joe (14Dec15): Serious technical issues with the sound marred the opening night. A shame since many of the actors had worked really hard. Maria and the abbess,Lisl and the kids are all good but the sound, a wobbly set and a mis-cast captain let it down. 2
