The Muses: Daughters of Aphrodite

"Fantastic event, I found myself either mesmerised by the dance and lip synch performances or laughing my head off at the comedy routines - can’t wait for the next one! "

"I had a fantastic time. The MC was quite entertaining, did a great job at warming up the crowd and I really enjoyed her crowd work. The opening act was really fun too, and I hope to see a performance of her own sometimes. Céline was fantastic, her set and songs brilliantly written, her singing voice absolutely beautiful, and her stage presence was really captivating and confidence. It was really great to see a black queer woman take up space like that. 10/10 have already talked my friends ears off about the show and would go again."

"Congratulations on a spellbinding production. The audience is expertly transported into a situation which just starts making sense when the ride gets a bit loud and scary. The plot twist is expert! Congratulations to the cast, director, writer,sound and lighting. I look forward to seeing more of your work. "
