Hehehe - Jumble: the mind sees what it wants to see
Oh, and I'll copy and paste the review, just in case anyone wanted to read
Spoiler:
Director Rodney Wolff has orchestrated a very tidy performance of this musical thriller, emulating a professional show. The vibrant and quick atmosphere is balanced with a side of humour as the dark and tragic Sweeney Todd tale evolves. The large team behind the production that shaped the set, lighting and costumes gave the show its vibrancy, which was tied together and lit by Wolff’s vision.
Alice Barbery was a standout with her strong singing voice as the delightfully devious and quirky Mrs Lovett. The character is certainly a fun one to play and Barbery took to it with fervour. Jack Bradford was quiet and thoughtful as Sweeny Todd, which worked well against Barbery. Their duets were always entertaining and although Bradford’s singing voice was not as strong as the others he controlled it well and used it to give Todd a brooding feel.
The beggar woman played by Megan Crocombe was a great feature character. Hunched over with matted hair and a gravely voice she lurched around the set as an eerie and mysterious old crone.
James Gauci, who plays sailor Anthony, had a beautiful singing voice. Bekki Adams as Johanna was a perfect match with Gauci, and together they were the unspoiled young couple; a representation of purity in the dark thriller. Adams was a Scarlett Johansson look-alike with porcelain skin and blonde, curly hair.
A strong chorus carried some of the best musical pieces of the night, and the live orchestra back stage were key in giving the show punch. Music director Geoff Secomb and vocal director Nick Hollamby steered the performers to a professional level. If you love musicals or if you just love paying amateur ticket prices for a professional theatre experience, get along to this one.
I'm off there this Sunday, Suz and Mike are treating me for my birthday It's great, because I've been there so often (last time with five of the mums that I work/have worked for, when nobody mentioned that I was the only one on red wine so I had to drink it all.......) everyone knows me and I get special treatment Stuart even made me a special dessert because I whinged about my favourite not being on the menu that night
