“What has pleased us in Sydney in particular is the response from school age children,“ said producer Howard Panter. Fourteen year old Riley Lavelle Long liked the show so much he wrote a review “Before I saw this musical, I was not familiar with the plot so I saw it with an open mind, not knowing what to expect. But from the very first scenes, I found myself laughing aloud, clapping my hands and finding it hard not to sing along. I found the acting to be fantastic”

“The stars shone on stage ….. The entire production was tightly woven together by a talented chorus line who kept the energy level high…….Four stars”

Sun Herald

“One of the great Broadway musical comedies………….A highly entertaining narrative, a bevy of colourful characters and one wonderful song after another………..Star-studded production”
