Let's get some facts for you! Wednesday's opening night full house audience in St. Joseph's Hall was treated to a show that will rank with the finest ever by a group of very highly talented stage and 'behind the scenes' performers. Boyle Musical Society's "Little Shop of Horrors" was a delight from start to finish and featured performances among the best I have ever seen and heard ... not 'amateur', but on a par with shows I have seen on Broadway.
• Jamie Dockery, Elissa O'Dowd, Brendan Reid, Lizi Hannon, Ceara Conlon, Lynda Morgan, Danny Doherty and to the entire cast, a sincere congratulations and 'well done' - I will be back again to enjoy your performances while the show is running. You gave the X-Factor to every moment you were on stage. In particular Elissa and Jamie left me with tears of joy with the show-stopper "Suddenly Seymour".
• Vivienne Moran, Director and Choreographer, picked and cast the roles so superbly that I figured 'he/she' must be like that in real life ... they played their parts so very well.
• Anne Kielty, Musical Director, led an orchestra that complemented and accompanied beautifully and thanks to Liam Feeney, sound engineer, could not have been better.
• Oh yes, there are special effects that will delight - the plant with a unique appetite, the motor bike and the dance numbers will set your feet tapping, but you will see all when you attend this great show at 8pm each night including Sunday.
