NODA report on SMTG's production of "Wild, Wild Women" (March 2016)
"…… It has all the qualities of a great musical; good story, wonderful toe tapping tunes and bags of comedy. The audience must surely leave the theatre on a high and humming the tunes; I know that I did. ….
The opening number prepared the audience for a wonderful evening of Country and Western style music and all of the musical numbers were choreographed in keeping with the show. They were clearly well-rehearsed by the cast and confidently performed. ….
As the recently married couple Clint and Myrtle, Wesley Wooden and Sharon Young raised lots of laughter and I’m sure had a lot of fun doing so. That was something it was impossible to ignore in this production, that the cast were all ‘on board’ and loving every minute on stage. I imagine that at many of the rehearsals the cast were in stitches!....."
NODA report on SMTG's production of BLITZ! (March 2015)
"...this performance by a clearly talented company perfectly captured the prevailing tensions and defiant bravery of the hardy souls fighting for freedom..."

Reports from recent shows:-
NODA report on SMTG's production of Made in Dagenham (March 2017)
The Production: Wow what an evening! Nostalgia, emotion, talent, song, dance, clarity, energy all rolled into one fabulous package. Each and every member of the cast played their role to the utmost. The casting was so well balanced with absolutely no weak links. The evening sped by in a whirl of reminiscence _ I was thrilled to be part of it. Congratulations to all involved in the production - you truly captivated the emotions of the time.
Scenery/Set/Properties: The sets were many and varied. From the details in the O’Grady household to the simplicity of the Factory each and every one enabled the cast to maximise the space and develop the scene. The props were well selected and in period.
Lighting &Sound: All the lighting and sound was absolutely appropriate for the show.
Make Up/Hair/Costume: The costumes had been well researched and executed although it should be remembered that handbags normally contain all sorts of things and don’t look empty. The hair and make-up were equally spot on and complemented the costumes well.
Music/Orchestra: The band was particularly well balanced. The two keyboards, very well played, contributed all the colour needed to support the very able brass and guitar players. All were directed by a most able musical director who drew so much out of everybody particularly during the part-singing.
