Musical Monday
"The performances were phenomenal, especially considering that the production was put together only the day before. My only criticism would be that the volume of both the keyboard and the microphones was far too loud. I was sitting at the back and my eardrums hurt. The keyboard was also too loud in comparison to the microphones, so the singers were forced to sing louder and so the balance was off. It is quite a spacious venue and the performers are all incredibly talented, so my suggestion would be to ditch the microphones and lower the volume on the keyboard. This will give the performers the opportunity to really tone the volume down and have some more vulnerable moments, as opposed to belting for most of the show. Otherwise, well done!"

The Curse of Camp Hellfire
"What a night, what an experience! LOVED every second! This show was a level of immersive theatre, I’ve never experienced! So different, so captivating and beyond creative. Performance art taken to new heights! The creative concepts blew me away throughout the show. Directors were so clever and the performers executed it so well! Incredible script writing! Unmatched choreography! and STAR performers! I’m keeping my eyes on this space! Can’t wait to see what’s to come. "

"Musical Mondays is always a hit and utterly inthralling and entertaining but this last musical Mondays was absolutely jaw dropping. They get better each time. Garth the musical Director is outstanding and the sound and lighting is fantastic I can literally hear every word that is said. It’s so affordable as well And definitely worth the money. "
