NODA REVIEW

The first thing that you are aware of is the overture and although you always get those who must talk through the overture, in this case it was a pity as this was a fine orchestra with an MD who never failed all evening to bring in the principals. It was smashing to see and I am in no doubt of the help it is to them.

The chorus numbers were strong and they had a super set to play in front of. My congratulations to the scenic artist Howard Bates for a job very well done.

Martin Taylor and Graham Bailey played Stewpot and Professor. Tony Henry was Luther and his caring side came across when he spoke to Nellie and gave us some nice moments.

Liat and Lt. Cable looked right and were played by Sonia Harris and Michael Dootson.

Bloody Mary was in the safe hands of Patricia Connor who gave a sound performance. Stephen Brennan was Emile and had an extremely good voice.

But the young lady who played Nellie was so good that I must say it was the most natural performance that I have seen of this difficult part, she was totally believable. I believe that Liz Blundel has not done a great deal in the past, if so I hope to see more of her, this was an excellent performance.

My thanks to all for an enjoyable evening.
