WHAT PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT
AROUND THE WORLD
From Vic Raines - What a great night out. We saw
From Malcolm Stern -
"Triumph" is the word that comes to mind. It really was a stunning show, and
demonstrates what we can achieve when all the ingredients are right - script, music,
choreography, performances, all deployed with a high degree of imagination and delivered
with great energy. Do pass on my thanks and congratulations to everyone involved.
From Dr Andrew Parmley -
What a triumph! A great entertainment and very well produced!
Congratulations!
From Tim Longman - We really enjoyed the
show, especially John. The children sang the Railroad song over their Shreddies
this morning.
From Martin Thorp -
Not often do I burst into print, but am moved to do so
on this occasion. "Around The World" was highly entertaining, full of laughs, and
altogether great fun. Although I viewed the original production only from the side,
I've no doubt that this version was vastly superior in all respects, and the new
songs were well up to standard. All the acting and the choreography, both male and
female, was great, but the accolade must go to Simon who excelled himself. I actually
got more enjoyment from your show than from "Merrily We Roll Along" entertaining
though that was. All your effort was well worthwhile as far as I am concerned.
From Tim and Pam Weale - We thought it was great. Fast pace, good script with [speaking
as the erstwhile school wardrobe lady] some incredibly smooth costume changes.
From David Lewis -
I went
to the Saturday matinee with three young friends aged 5 to 9 and I can report we
all had a delightful experience. Congratulations on an excellent and slick production
and also on adapting it as a musical.
From Margaret Earing - Just a little note
to say how much we enjoyed the production on Sunday it was real fun and the songs
were fabulous! The kids were doubly delighted as they received a book each on the
way out great for the car journey home!
From Robin Burn - Really enjoyed the show
particularly the new improved version. I thought Simon and Jon Musker were the stars
and it was good recognising some old faces e.g. David Rance, Emma, Tim, David White.
The kids were great but they must have been really weary come the finale.
From Carolyn Greenwood - What a talented man
you are and in my book a genius for creating an evening as entertaining and novel
as "Around the World" is. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, thought the staging and costumes
were brilliant, as was the singing and acting, dancing as well. It was a really
fun evening - a view shared by Catherine . Again, congratulations!
From a
drama teacher, broadcaster, author and professional adjudicator It was, I thought, one
of the best things I've seen you do, and I very much enjoyed it. You looked and
sounded very professional. In fact I thought the show was very strong in its male
members (if you get my meaning!)
From Marilyn Grossmann -This really is a truly
spectacular and exceedingly polished production! Vibrant, colourful and guaranteed
to make adults and children alike leave with the "feel good" factor.
