OLIVER! REVIEWS

Thank you for being Mr Bumble then we could come and see you (see picture). I have been studying the Victorians at school and we have just finished reading Oliver Twist. Love from Tasha. (Tasha aged 7)

We enjoyed your show so much - such talent! I was sad when it ended. Well Done to everyone involved. Love Paul & Paula, (Tasha's Mum & Dad)

Another great show - the kids were amazing. Roll on February for the pantomime. (Marie Kelly)

I came to see the production of Oliver and was whisked into the 18th century from the first act. I cried during the production and wanted to stand up at the end to shout at Bill not to kill Nancy, but thankfully refrained. The cast were so professional and gave a first class performance, which honestly left me feeling like I was in the West End. Congratulations to all involved with special thanks to Sarah Young, who played Nancy, for acting with such passion and having a voice like an angel. Thank you again and I can't wait for next year's production. - (Beverley Kay)

The performance of Oliver! given by the Morley Operatic Society in Morley Town Hall, had to be seen to be believed. Every facet of the production was absolutely top class, and comparable with any professional production. Congratulations to everyone involved in this wonderful show. - (Coun. Judith Elliott Mayor of Morley - via Morley Observer letters page)

I would like to congratulate everyone connected with Morley Amateur Operatic Society's production of Oliver! What a fantastic show it was. I attended on Friday Night with the Mayor, Coun. Judith Elliott, and then on Saturday with my family, with whom I saw the same show in London and to be honest this production was far more enjoyable. The casting was superb, especially Nancy and Fagin, who were exceptional. Once again, well done. - (Wyn Kidger, Mayoress of Morley - via Morley Observer letters page)

WHAT A SHOW! You've really topped it this time with your amazing production of 'OLIVER'. Don't think we've ever had so much positive feed back from the audiences as they left the Town Hall. From the Production Staff, the Stage Crew, Props, Costumes, etc. to everyone on stage, it really did leave you "wanting more".
Our friends from York were more than impressed with the quality of our Principals, Chorus and Fagin's Gang. They asked that we tell you how "brilliant" the whole production was.
You really have made a wonderful impression to both our regular customers and to the people attending their first Morley show. Let's hope they spread the word and we show them what we can do next year in "The Wizard of Oz". CONGRATULATIONS - you were fantastic. - (Geoff & Joan Snowden)

Oliver! was amazing - (Claire Fowkes)

I am writing to congratulate and thank the cast and all involved in the production of Oliver being shown at Morley town hall. I was in the audience last night and was thoughally impressed, so much so that I wanted to write in!! I did not know any of the cast members personally, I had picked up a flyer in Morley town centre and decided to come along. All the hard work everyone must have put in was noticed, we were so entertained and impressed all the way through. Well-done to all the cast including all those involved with the music, sound and stage too. The set and costumes were excellent and it really was a superb performance! No doubt a few stars are in the making among that cast!!! I will recommend to everyone I see in the next 3 days!! Please pass on my congratulation to the cast and everyone involved that made it possible. Kindest regards - (Hayley Morrison)

Return to the Forbidden Planet comments

I really enjoyed the show, infact I think it's one of my favourites that Morley has done, it was very professional and had a great energy to it, it looked like everyone involved really enjoyed themselves too. (Sarah Siddle)

"Congratulations on a great show"

I went to watch the MAOS production of Return To The Forbidden Planet at Morley Town Hall. This production was excellent and congratulations must go to cast and crew. It was certainly different from the usual musical offering and the change was welcome. It was well acted, the singing and musicians were excellent and the whole show was certainly well worth the ticket cost. An added bonus was the very funny narrative by a pre-recorded Billy Pearce.

I would like to congratulate MAOS for a wonderful evening and I would urge readers of the Observer and Advertiser to try and get tickets to their shows. Well done to MAOS for trying something different and making it work. Melissa Argyle via Morley Observer & Advertiser 29th Sepember 2010

Attended the Sunday afternoon matinee with friends and we were all delighted with the show. The performances were superb from all the cast and it was especially good to see so many talented young people amongst the cast. Well done to everyone on the stage and behind the scenes. Looking forward to your next production.

What a fantastic week. Congratulations to all concerned. I've never experienced an atmosphere like that before with the audience singing and the flag waving. My prediction from the 15th May was pretty close, particularly on Friday & Saturday night. The show will live long in the memory of many people.

I saw your wonderful show today and thought it was great. You have done an amazing job and it was so professional. You should be very proud. The actors were amazing and the singing spot on. I loved the people in costume promoting the show and helping out front of house and the flags for people to wave, to become more involved in the audience. Super ideas. It had something for all ages. I hope to see more of your shows.

I was delighted to see the site and it revived many memories of my time with the society in the 1950's and 1960's. Anyone else remember those days - Ted Gilbertson ?
