Oliver! Audience Reviews
17 March 2010
Artful Dodger's Mom:
Wow! What a performance! Congratulations to all involved in this year's production which was truly professional on all levels. Awards were reaped due to a huge amount of effort by all involved. It was quite noticeable how much everyone, including the band, back stage, sound, and lighting crew, as well obviously the main cast, seemed to enjoy themselves. Everyone should be extremely proud of themselves as I too was a very proud parent! Well done everybody. Looking forward to next year's already! :)
Ollie:
I would just like to say a big thankyou to everyone as I believe this show has been the foundations to bigger and greater things. I would peronally like to thank the dedication of the staff and band who took part in the production and also a very big thankyou to the choirs - as no play can be put on with out them and it is them alone who make or break the main characters and the impacts they have upon the audience. I feel very privaledged to have worked with so many talented young actors and actresses.

I was in oliver I was in the workhouse and I have got to say Oliver was amazing to be in. I want to say a big thanks to all the teachers that helped in Oliver in any way. Oliver was the best, and as my first year at oldbury after that show I will certainly be in shows in the further. Oldbury Wells rockz!!!!
Excellent show, really enjoyed it wished i could see it again, all cast well done to you all!
To everyone, cast and production team, involved with Oliver!
From Pat:
What a superb evening’s entertainment! The show was practically professional on almost any level you want to judge it!
Superb stage set.
Atmospheric lighting and effects.
Slick scene changing and setting.
Sound nicely tuned and controlled.
Great orchestra.
Singing stunning.
Costumes spot on.
Acting wonderful.
Group choreography deceptively simple and effective.
It’s unfair to single out individuals, in a way, but Nancy, Bill and Fagin were a revelation. The singers selling their street wares were glorious together, too. The Sowerberrys and Noah Claypole, Mr Bumble, Widow Corney…no, they were all worthy of mention, really!
Thank you, all of you, for presenting us with a memorable show.
I would like to thank everyone involved in making this a spectacular performance. It was my daughter, Hayley' s first production at the school as she joined year 7 in the new school year. I saw the performance 3 nights and saw the improvement of the performers over these nights - with the last night being the best ever. The main characters were amazing with a few of them being outstanding - Nancy, Bill Sykes, Fagin and of course Oliver. I was lucky enough to be sitting on the front row on the last night and was very scared when Bill Sykes was pointing at me - what an excellent actor!!! Well done and can't wait until next years production!!!!

I have had the unique opportunity of joining your students and staff, as a member of the band performing in Oliver this week. I wanted to congratulate everyone involved in this production, which is fantastic. I have been impressed by the enthusiasm of staff, and the professional manner with which the students have conducted themselves throughout rehearsals and performances. Many people have commented on the high quality of the performance which I feel reflects the excellent working relationship between staff and students. Thank you for inviting me to me involved in this event it has been on honour to work alongside such talented students and teachers.

Fagin's mom
It was so good I saw it twice! Excellent production, fantastic cast, beautiful singing, brilliant costumes. I really enjoyed it. Well done everybody and for those of you who didn't go you missed a treat! Go Fagin!
Vicki,
Well done to all of the performers. THE best school production that I have ever seen. It's very difficult to pick out any individuals for praise as ALL parts were well acted and sung. Congratulations to the staff and pupils - particularly Mr Seale who has co-ordinated the whole thing.... already looking forward to next year!!
