'The Pirates Come to Town', a review by Louise Martin
The Pirates of Penzance stormed the stage at the Savoy Theatre last week, courtesy of the talented Monmouth Music Theatre group, wowing audiences as both hard G&S fans & newbies such as myself, were completely hooked throughout.
With amazing singing, everyone full of expression and beautifully animated - the cast’s energy and their obvious enjoyment just resonated out from the stage. Adrian Bevan as Frederick, and also the Stage Director, owned the stage along with leading lady Holly Thody, as Mabel - her voice literally gave you goosebumps; their voices were perfect together.
Meri Maturin’s was a gloriously swashbuckling Pirate King, along with his band of brilliant pirates, while Chris Godwin as the Very Model Major General, word perfect and full of character. Katie Ellis, who played Ruth, was also impressive with her powerful voice. The daughter’s, accompanied by nurses, aunts and governesses were all delightful, with lots of dancing, twirling of umbrellas - in fact everyone’s stage craft was tremendous as that’s quite a slope at the Savoy. I absolutely loved the policemen, led by Philip Chant as Sergeant, with glorious singing and hilarious comedic performance, bringing much laughter from the audience.
All in all, tremendous entertainment. MMT’s productions should certainly not to be missed. Credit must also go to production: the beautiful costumes, great set, lighting & sound, and the wonderful musical accompaniment - it was very difficult to remember that this group of talented people are not professionals; in fact another member of the audience said to me, they thought that this was better than any West End performance. I have to agree and am looking forward to MMT’s production of My Fair Lady next Spring.
