Waterloo was an absolutely brilliant show. Would recommend highly. Will attend any further shows at the Weymouth Pavilion, Weymouth, Dorset.
Ben Peachey - absolutely made the show with his quirky attitude.

Literally just walked through the door after seeing 'Mad About Musicals' at the Whitley Bay Playhouse - such a fantastic show by all!
Each member of the cast shone in their solos and were perfect performing together - it seemed like every member of our party had their favourite songs sung!
The musicians were fantastic, too, with the live music being a welcome change from similiar shows we've seen in the past which have been performed to a pre-recorded soundtrack.
Can't wait till you're all back in the North East!

I am just writing to thank you and congratulate your cast of Mad About the Musicals who were performing at the Ryan Centre, Stranraer last Friday, 4th June, 2010. It was a fabulous mix of amazing songs from all the best musicals sung beautifully with lots of character and great choreography!
Also, thank you very much for introducing me to Avenue Q!
Especially loved the Little Shop of Horrors mix ;)

WATERLOO was fantastic packed with energy, talent, glamour and of
course ABBA songs! I have seen many ABBA tributes including Voulez
Vous, Abba Mania, Abba Magic, Magic of Abba, and of course Bjorn
Again, but what makes Waterloo stand out above all others is the live
band and backing singers which recreate the authentic sound
without the constraints of a computerised backing track. Its this that differentiates the show from all others and perhaps the show should
be re-named ABBA LIVE.
I hope theatres pick up on this, and I will certainly recommend it.
All in all, cast fantastic, choreography amazing, sound superb and
costumes incredible... mamma mia,
here we go again soon ! Well done to Michael Courtney !

Abba music is always a hit with audiences but Waterloo has to be one of the best Abba tribute shows that I have seen perform at the Spa Pavilion Theatre in Felixstowe. They are young, vibrant and energetic and had everyone dancing in the aisles shouting for more. Simply Fantastic – I can’t wait to have them back again !

Just thought I would drop aline to say how much I enjoyed your show on Friday in Glasgow and the rest of the group I came with echoed the same. Have seen a few similar ones like this over the years --this was the best by far. Loved the 14G song the best --the girl stole the show with this. Also liked As long As He needs Me from Oliver-very expressive. Well done to you all and will definately book again next year.

Had a great evening of Musicals on Friday at the concert hall in Glasgow.
It really cheered me up and was just a fabulous show. Very pacey and full of energy. They had brilliant voices.
The costumes --especially the girls were just stunning!
I could have listened to the singers all evening. Thought the song choice was fab --would have liked to have heard Music of The Night from Phantom of the Opera as its my favourite! My husband was pleased as you did Les Miserables and Avenue Q as he saw that recently and my daughter of 9 years loved Oliver and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. My husband said it was better than Les Miserables in London and he saw this just 3 weeks ago on a business trip. Your standing ovation was well deserved Looking forward to the show next year---pleeeeeeeese come back!!!

Just want to say how much we all enjoyed it ---- loved all the costumes. Highlight was the Miss Saigon and Les Miserables section. Also loved the girl in Phantom of the Opera and Oliver. The young man Michael stood out as well and loved his Billy Eliot song.
Better than the West End! well done to all!

A stunning evening at the Stockport Plaza on Friday. Loved the fact that you included Wicked and Avenue Q.
Thought everyone had fantastic voices. Loved the dancing in Old Bamboo.
Star of the night though was the pretty long haired girl singing As Long As He Needs Me and her song in the Les Miserables bit. We loved her expressive voice and face.
Will come again next year!

I had an amazing experience last night, I went to see the show Waterloo in the Lincoln Theatre Royal. I am a huge ABBA fan. I had been to see Bjorn Again at the Castle in the summer which I thought was really good - until now! The Waterloo show was electrifying the atmosphere was incredible, the singing and the harmonies were perfection. The whole theatre were on their feet either just clapping and singing or dancing.
I will not be going to the Bjorn show or any other ABBA tribute show again except this one. There is just no comparison. This is a quality show that gave me and the whole of the audience a night to remember. Thank you.

My mum and I went to see the Waterloo production in the Princess Theatre, Port Talbot last night (an early Christmas gift from my 2 young daughters for their grandmother and I). What a fantastic night. The cast were amazing, beautiful vocals and the harmonies were outstanding. Growing up I loved Abba and my friend Eleanor and I would sit for hours singing away to the fantastic music that only Abba could produce. My mum really didn't have an option but to like Abba! Really hope that the cast will return again in 2010 so that I can go and sit through another performance and hopefully take with me the whole of Port Talbot including Eleanor who would have absolutely loved it. Thanks again brilliant

Terrific night at Whitby with Waterloo!
Seen you in Skegness, Scarborough and Whitby now.
Can't get enough of this amazing show. I am a real hard core Abba fan --been to see all the other Abba shows around the country --at least all the other well known ones. They are nothing compared to your show. Your live show makes me feel like I am at a real live concert. Know this sounds corny --but I really feel like I am seeing Abba live ---and I have never experienced this buzz at any of the other Abba shows I have seen before. Love the feeling I get ---never seen so many people enjoying themselves so much at the theatre before in all my life.
Fantastic stuff --- cant wait to see you all again ---a group of us are going to see you again in Lincoln!

My wife dragged me out on Friday night to your show ----didn't want to go --wanted to stay in with a beer and watch the snooker on TV.
The decision to go was one of the best I have made in a long time. A most thoroughly entertaining evening that had me at times laughing until my sides split. I loved it all but especially the Spamalot song, the girl who song the Striesand song --Kerry--(wow!) and Michael Courtney --what a voice!! I have not seen Phantom of the Opera before ---but that song he sung was incredible---what a voice.
The outcome of all this ----the missus has finally got her way and has just booked a weekend away for us in London to see 'Phantom' --- the guy playing the Phantom role better be as good as Michael Courtney!
Seriously --- everyone --fanastic show.

I just want to say thanks for one of the best shows that I have ever seen at the Theatre Royal in Lincoln --and I have been coming here for nearly 30 years!
Everything about it was stunning from the costumes to the lighting. The singers were better than any I have heard in the West End. But for me the highlight of the show has to be the most powerful rendition I have ever heard of 'Music Of The Night'. I have seen Phantom both in London and New York --- I even saw it with Michael Crawford----- however Michael Courtney that was just spine tingling stuff and I wanted the song to go on and on---that was the best ever. Just amazing!! To experience such a superb show when I didn't expect it be to this level was a huge treat for me and my partner. No other show of this type compares! You are absolutely the best. Please thank all the other singers for me -- especially Victoria the new girl. An awesome evening and one that we wont forget for a long time! Please email me back to let me know when you are next in Lincoln.

Many thanks for the very successful evening we had recently at Whitby
Pavilion Theatre with your production 'Waterloo'. The near capacity audience
thoroughly enjoyed the show. There was an ecstatic response at the end of
each number and a considerable amount of dancing in the aisles. The singers
and musicians were excellent, the sound level was perfect and it was clear
that everyone appreciated that it was a fully 'LIVE' performance. The
standing ovation was justly deserved. I'd certainly like to include it in
our programme again next year.
We had a similarly favourable reaction to 'It's D'Lovely some weeks ago. Our
patrons have come to expect a very high standard from your Company having
enjoyed various versions of 'Mad About The Musicals' and they certainly got
that with D'Lovely. The vocalists were top notch as ever and clearly enjoyed
themselves which generated a fantastic atmosphere. The superb lighting/sound
and your classy style of presentation added up to another really good night
for us.
Cheers Keith.
