Great acting and great production. Ok there was one or two tiny pauses while some of the actors got up to speed, but I can only recall 3 =2 or 3 small stammers, which considering the amount of script and the young actors is fantastic. IWe loved all the film/music sequences. My favourites were Dirty Old Town, and of course Who stole the Sun; this version is infinitely superior to the far harder version we have been able to find on the internet. Please release this as a single Twisted Wheel. You really suit this style and I hope you will do more like this.
All the staff at the theate were great, and couldn’t do enough for us, even getting my email addy to help find me one of the ‘sold out’ Bengal Tigers badges, as I am a badge collector.
I hope the music is released as an album, we will definitely buy at least two copies.
I hope this is turned into a film or TV series, but keeping some of the influence of the theatre production, including many of the actors/actresses, and ALL the songs played. (even though you missed out King of the Scuttlers this afternoon).
Thanks for the talk afterwards. Seeing this production, and being interested in the book. It really feels like we ARE involved, rather than just a statistic which is how most theatre productions make you feel. Keep up the good work :)

The story was excellent, and the way the video was woven into the play could not have been better. The cast were were excellent and their enthusiasm could not be faulted. The dialogue was really authentic, it brought back memories of my boyhood in Miles Platting.

Congratulations to all concerned with the production. It would be a pity if this were the last time the production saw the light of day.
