Merry Christmas and a yo ho ho, arrr!
Treasure Island has set sail in fine winds and here are a few nuggets from the reviews.
“The piratical panto performance casts off with waves of song and laughter against a stunning and versatile set”
Southampton Daily Echo
“Leonie Elliot gives a superb performance as Long John Silver’s daughter Tempest while slapstick and laughter is provided brilliantly by Eva Sampson and Simon McCoy as Barnacles and Spinnaker.”
Southampton Daily Echo
“The way they utilise the set is brilliantly perfected, and there are some very catch songs written by Alonso Mendoza and Christopher Hawes… outstanding company routines”
The Stage
“a busy ensemble of children is particularly effective in evoking the creatures and colours of a tropical island, and Simon Higlett’s richly-detailed two level set is worth another yo-ho-ho”
Portsmouth News
“Special mention must also go to the children performing in this production. Much was asked of them and every youngster clambered aboard to give a flawless performance.”
Southampton Daily Echo
“for those who put storytelling before razzmatazz”
Portsmouth News
“The storybook theme at Christmas time, which opens and closes the show, is a gem of an idea.”
The Stage
“expressive-eyed Christopher Barlow makes Silver himself rather jolly… creating a strong physical presence.”
