All 4 One
- U.S. Premiere -
May & June 2008
"I thoroughly enjoyed
the performances of All 4 One. You have some very talented
people in your
conservatory who really excelled within their roles and all of
their hard work certainly paid off.
I was delighted with
the results you had both achieved; you must have been very proud
with the high levels of performance from all of those involved
with the production.
It was obvious that you focus on detail within a performance and
production in general. As you well know it is often these small
things that add so much to a show. I was delighted that the US premiere of All 4 One was
performed by NYCA and my music has once again, been part of
developing the talent of the youth in musical theatre.
The intensity and
passion was very powerful. As we moved into the Bastille the
atmosphere of this prison was great, with the shafts of light
cutting through the smoke and the picture of prisoners lying on
the floor creating the right mood for the darkening story.
The acting and
delivery of songs
made the most of the
emotion and were a joy to listen to.
I was very impressed
by the sword fighting. It was obvious that a lot of time had
gone into creating a dynamic, coordinated and exciting set of
sequences. I enjoyed the co-ordination that these displays had
with the music.
The ensemble had done
an excellent job in the studio and had clearly mastered the
songs to a high standard. This extra work really paid off and
the choral sound really did come together well.
The simple scenery
when combined with the lighting was very effective and you and
your lighting team created some wonderful pictures, which
created a rich background in which to place the action.
Thanks again and very
best wishes to you all."

"They'll never
replicate these innocents abroad, when the show hits London's West
End...by body language and emotive emanation, . . . anguish and
beatitude . . . a cri de Coeur with a soaring voice conveying true
heartbreak. Separate from the impact of this new historic musical,
but essential to it, is an appreciation of evolving talent in NYCA."
