Verdict for Pageant

Music by Albert Evans

Enjoyable and deserves a longer run.

Story and Lyrics

by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly.

Hilarious, I have not laughed so much since Forbidden Broadway.

Singing

Very strong voices from seven very talented men.

Production/Scenery

by Nigel Hook

How one makes such a small place look so big, and to make use of the tables from the floor, pure genius.

Dancing

choreographer by Warren Carlyle

Energetic, fun and captivating. Especially the Ms Texas 'Cowboy' number.

Costume

Gregg Barnes, just perfect.

Lighting

by Pinkie Glitz.

Acting

What can I say.... Mr James, Mr MacDuffy, Mr Western, Mr Xavier, Mr Blair, Mr Maurice-Jones, Mr Mercer, good luck to you all, hope the show will do well in the West End and you all deserve great roles in the future.

Pageant will be moving to the West End in Aug.

1/8/2000

The best transfer from a small theatre to the West End I have seen in years.

It worked, the sets, the actors felt right at home at a bigger venues. Well deserved success.
