Rachel, I was the person who played Oliver and you didn’t see how much work went into that compared to West Side Story. I thought it was a great production!
Flashdance at The Palace Theatre, Manchester. What an amazing performance by all! Alex shone with precision and elegance, a beautiful performance. I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience created in the scene after Alex’s mother dies, the choreography and music weave your mind into a spiralling sense of disaster. A standing ovation on completion crowned the performance and rightfully so. Well done all! To the critics- "The eye that sees all things else sees not itself".
Yeah, I also went to see this years Oliver at the Palace. I am a music student and my friends went to see the last 3 and raved about them. It is a great opportunity for the kids but my friends who came with me said it wasn’t like any of the others they had seen and that they did Oliver in 2004. But they did say there was a new director this year too, the manager of the theatre.The kids were great though, every one of em’!
I do agree that all the kids gave their all, my questions lie with the choice of show and what they produced this year…..did you see last years show and south pacific at all?
I agree Rachel, however Im sure you will agree that all the kids put in such a good effort as always. I felt the choice of show did not stand up to the usual quality my family and I have seen at these stage experience’s. But they are still great opportunities for the kids!
I saw Oliver at the Palace Theatre Manchester and after last years West Side Story and 2006′s South Pacific it was a big step backwards. They seemed to have built a good repuatation for top quality youth theatre but have somehow lost it……
Went to see The Producers at the Palace Theatre the other night. Peter Kay was fantasic but doesn’t appear as much as he should. Mind you the rest of the cast, especially Cory English, were pretty good too.
