“This production of Oklahoma! is without question, a bright golden haze of a show packed with memorable performances from all involved and so provides an evening's entertainment to rival anything currently on the road...a rich, vibrant, exquisitely choreographed toe-tapper of a show, crammed with more recognisable show-stoppers than many its peers put together."
The Stage

All singing and all dancing, it's a mightily impressive show...With impressive sets, colourful costumes and those rip-roaring songs, it's a real treat. Catch it while you can.

West End star Marti Webb heads an all-round spectacular cast and her star quality seems to have rubbed off on the bright young talent around her. Mark Evans ticked all the right boxes as happy go-lucky-cowboy Curley. Vocally he was an absolute delight from the moment he opened the show with Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’. His love interest Laurey – played by Gemma Sutton – had an exquisite voice too.
The sets, the costumes, and the fabulously choreographed dance routines – especially Laurey’s breathtaking ensemble dream scene, rival any West End show. Be sure not to miss it!”

“This production wins through by the sheer energy and enthusiasm of its young cast and the simple but effective set design (also by Julian Woolford), which successfully conjures the atmosphere and conditions of the time in which it is set, without dominating and detracting from the simplicity of the plot. Mark Evans was a revelation as Curly...vocally he was a delight and delivered a strong and believable performance. The pairing with Gemma Sutton also vocally superb created a beautiful and believable romance with energy and chemistry between them. Pete Gallagher was also excellent as the brooding Jud Fry. Leading the cast as matriarch Aunt Eller Marti Webb has enormous stage presence, and brought warmth, charm and feisty-ness to proceedings....the rousing ‘Farmer and the Cowman’ ....allowed her to deliver the powerhouse performance we have come to expect.”

LIBERACE, LIVE FROM HEAVEN

Written and Directed by Julian Woolford

"Brilliantly entertaining...fabulous fun" Whatsonstage.com

"It's spooky! Bobby Crush channels Liberace at his glittermost, complete with gleaming grin, blinding bling and camp candelabra... star-spangled entertainment with some great gags from Victoria Wood's stroppy God."
Roger Foss, The Steve Allen Show, LBC 97.3

     

"Julian Woolford’s mischievous tribute to the entertainer who raised the art of camp to absurd new heights...Forced to defend his reputation - and his habit of concealing his true sexuality - before the Almighty, he throws himself on the mercy of the audience to vote on his ultimate destination - Heaven or Hell." The Times

   

"As the story of this amazing American superstar unfolded I realised what a very, very talented actor Bobby Crush had become. Bobby’s delivery was excellent, his ad-libs to the enthusiastic audience were a joy to behold, and appeared very original with perfect comic timing, and his cross-dialogue with the recorded voices of Stephen Fry(playing St. Peter) and Victoria Wood(in the role of God!!!) was the ideal way of recalling the life story of Liberace and how it was unsure whether or not he should go to heaven….or down below!...after receiving a standing ovation with screams and cheers for ‘more’, it was obvious that the vote would be a positive one. I can thoroughly recommend it as a great evening out,..Definitely a night to remember … and I hope it goes on tour!"
