 | On the contrary, I thought the "new" verse for "Small Titles" hilarious - G&S would have heartily approved. A magical evening! - USER: Whatsonstage.com (195.93.50.14) | 07 Jul 03 |
| A completely brilliant evening! Augurs well for the new team in residence at Chichester. I think programmes are good value - they contain 9 productions!! - USER: Whatsonstage.com (195.93.50.14) | 07 Jul 03 |
| A superb stylish evening. The director, Martin Duncan, has brushed aside the usual cobwebs that cling to Gilbert and Sullivan and has produced a humorous, sharp evening. The quality of the singing was outstanding, particularly the two gondoliers, their wives, Louise Gold and, well, most everyone else. The whole family loved it (the youngest only 9). My only complaint was the price of the programmes (£10)! That aside, this production augurs well for the rest of the Chichester season. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (195.93.50.14) | 31 May 03 |
| Give the audience what it wants.......at the talk back it was obvious that even D'Oyly Carte fanatics were won over. This is the best Gondoliers possible. Martin Marquez and Louise Gold were brilliant Plaza Toros. I'm going again next week. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (193.118.203.3) | 09 May 03 |
| A total delight in every department. Except one , an added song (why do this, AND 'Small titles and orders?)satirising New Labour totally plays into the hands of the already Super-tory Chich audience, who loathe all Labour, new or old. A shame. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (193.122.47.170) | 03 May 03 |
