FANTASTIC -A MUST SEE SHOW!!!

My friend and I seen this show November 2007 it was brilliant. Connie Fisher was Maria (amazing)!! The whole of the cast was fantastic, we had seats in the stalls about 5 from the front row excellent. There were two children sitting next to me aged about 6 years old did not hear a peep out of them they were enthralled by the show. Can,t wait to see it again. ... Read more

The singing, the acting , the fabulous stage effects all contributed to a wonderful evening. ... Read more
