This show made me feel old. In a good way - was great to see young people (mostly under the age of 20) trying out their creative ideas, but they simply just miss the mark.

But their development is what is the winner here, I simply just got left behind. I would recommend the creatives to get some mentors behind them, because there could be a real fringe audience for this kind of concept.

The mixture of dance and theatre was well executed by such a young cast and crew. The show started off with flare (hilariously introduced by Nicolas Cutts)and maintained a good pace.

Changes were slow at times but this was relatively unavoidable and didn't distract much from the play itself.

Shaez Mortimer was fantastic as Miss Scarlett (her closing number a real highlight) and had strong support from Johanna McGovern and Peter Enright.

Specter was ambitious but overall it was a success.

With such a young cast and crew, there were bound to be a few trip ups, but overall this show was absolutely great. the enthusiasm of the actors really shone through. I wouldn't have believed that this show had been put on by such a young group of people had I not read their bios in the program. Well done guys!

I loved every minute of this show. The cast's youth infused the show with an exuberance unrivalled by seasoned actors. The split-level staging was an interesting use of the space, which facilitated some stunning dance routines. The soundtrack was unusually modern but worked well as the music was appropriate to the context of the story. Loved it.

A sassy mystery combined with story appropriate dance numbers; the combination of the two didn't click as well as they should have. The young cast were enthusiastic and display good potential, however aspects of the show seemed a bit rough and under rehearsed. The size of the performance space was problematic, with the great void between the audience and the action making it appear that there was less going on than there was. A likeable show, but unable to produce the wow factor.

Not a bad show - the leading lady was great - some of the scene changes took a long time which distracted you from the performance

This show was quite enjoyable. Story line could have used more focus, instead the focus seemed to be more on the dancing. Acting was quite good, especially Miss Scarlett and I was impressed that she managed to keep her accent the whole time. Scene changes could have been shorter and that would have helped the story flow a bit better. But overall the show was quite entertaining!
