Audience Reviews of our 2023 show
I don't usually like musicals, but I liked this one. The songs are fantastic (just listen to the trailer), the story has a nice twist at the end, and the songs and experiences portrayed touch on something deeply human. Thank you for transporting me.

It was a truly fabulous performance. Totally blown away by the talent and voices.
Theresa Batey
Edens portrayal was so real that some members of the audience actually gasped at times. Some were moved to tears and a couple actually said they wanted to intervene and had to remind themselves they were watching a performance. Every single performer tonight shone, the acting was believable, the singing voices of all the cast were beautiful.

I thought this show was wonderful. The story was very affecting and the songs were written very well. It was very impressive that some of the cast played a few different roles and while those characters were very different we still knew who everyone was.
Jack Walker
Amazing performance by all! Emotive and powerful. Loved watching this - not a dull moment. The lead, Elisa, was just wonderful and talented and a star. Great job.
