We were delighted with the success of our latest show, Pygmalion the Musical.  Hope you managed to catch one of the performances.  Here's a small selection from the many kind compliments we received.  Are we blowing our own trumpet?  Yes, we are!!

 

"We really enjoyed the show - it was really amazing. It would have been a tragedy if we had missed it. The whole production was extremely well done – everything – cast, costumes, scenery, sound. Impressed by the choreography. Definitely10 out of 10!" 

 

"We were a group of nine on Sunday and we all enjoyed the show immensely. "Bravi” to all of you and thanks for bringing such talent into a small local production - year after year."

 

"Many congratulations on the show! Could you please pass on my thanks and congrats to Ailleen and I was most impressed by the whole thing - some wonderful actors (2nd cast Eliza outstanding!!), wondrous costumes, very fine sets and cast ensemble numbers. I do hope that today's performances are packed out; you all deserve over-full houses and roof-raising cheers." 

 

"A really professional production of Pygmalion a musical based on My Fair Lady & Pygmalion. Excellent cast, costumes and settings."
