The performances, at the Exmouth Pavilion marked a new stage in the life of the society, as their song list went on to demonstrate, a love of the many traditional shows and musicals that have shaped musical theatre, contrasted against the new age of contemporary musicals that are becoming increasingly popular now. This gave many members of the company a chance to shine, as well as demonstrate the powerful and emotive choral vocal performances that the company pride themselves on delivering. Later, the review from the National Operatic and Dramatic Association stated that: After a successful summer production, hotly on its heels came the now essential find boosting musical evening. A perfect showcase for the equally talented members of the company who missed out on principal roles previously. As the title suggests, songs from a varied collection of well known musicals were performed, older favourites in act one, culminating in some of the most stirring work of the evening., in act two's modern segment. First night nerves contributed to a tepid start, quickly warming to positively hot, hot, hot, with energetic, concientious movement and memorable vocals, which included an unaccompanied version of 'I Dreamed a Dream' performed by the whole company, its harmonic accuracy was congratulatory achievement and pure joy to hear. With elegance, the company drifted into the excellent staging, devised to suit the mood and genre of the music, none appearing to seem anything other than 'at home'. A thoroughly entertaining evening, much to the audience's enjoyment. |
