What a stupendous production. I was moved, touched and inspired. Your set was spectacular and captured the feeling of Misselthwaite Manor.The lighting made the magic dance and the voices ? wow! I go to all the productions in York Region and this tops all. The 2nd act quartet was powerful and the voices were a superb match. Joseph Likuski was a powerhouse of vocal beauty and sensitivity. Together with Lily, Sarah Kyle the voices sounded as one voice. A perfect singing duo able to create the passion and magic needed to move audiences. There was not a flicker, not a stir in the audience with the breath taking How Could I Ever Know performed by Sarah and by the duets finish there was not a dry eye. Joseph Likuski’s Bit of Earth was better than any Bring Him Home I have ever heard. Other performances to note were Jackie Barkowski as Mrs Medlock and Stephanie Birell as Martha. Both women had strong characters and the Hold On solo was heart warming. I cannot stop there though. A well directed cast lead by a young actress Gabrielle da Silva. She has performance instincts and a sweet voice that made us all fall in love with her from the moment she stepped on stage. This was a really professional show. I look forward to more quality entertainment by this company in the future. Please let me know what roles Mr Likuski and Mr Kramer will be performing next season and please let me know as well so I can rush to the box office especially if Mrs Kyle is on stage again.
Sincere thanks for giving us good entertainment.
