| Anything Goes Review by NODA Representative Anne Key Huckerby June 2003 Anthony
Grunwell directed and was also Musical director for this popular
musical. Those responsible for the construction of the set deserve a
pat on the back, and the stage crew's scene-shifting was really
efficient. The sound and lighting effects were very pleasing, and
although more attention could have been paid to accessories, on the
whole the costumes looked reasonably authentic. Melissa Haigh
made an appealing Hope with Jo Wilson proved to be a vivacious Bonnie
and the four young "angels" were really delightful. The rest of
the cast and chorus members moved and sang well.
The orchestra maintained excellent accompaniment throughout but occasionally the level of sound was a little too great. An enjoyable production.
