TANWOOD Youth Theatre, under the direction of Pollyann Tanner, took on the mammoth task of producing the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, at the Wyvern Theatre, over three nights.
The scene was set by splendid scenery and excellent lighting. From the opening chords from the orchestra, under the MD Chris Newton, we knew we were in for something rather special. Pollyann’s direction and choreography was spot on.
The young men in the male leads were a highlight. They had exceptional musical theatre singing voices and a stage presence that only excellent training can give. The young ladies taking on leading roles also had good voices and characterisation throughout.
The logistics of getting this production to fruition can only be described as monumental, from tiny tots to those superb musical theatre trainees.
Everyone looked as though they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Good job done and I can’t wait for the next one. — ROS HOLLANDS
