Bravo.

[MemphisMyoho]

Love it - very well put together!

The production got more and more assured as it went on. High praise to the piano player and the plaintiffs council especially. Really enjoyed it all though.

Agreed- I have seen fully-fledged, high-budget productions that weren't as enjoyable to watch as this. I particularly liked the Judge and the Usher, but all of them were really good and the production was simply enjoyable to watch, which in no small part was down to the way the enthusiasm came through. Thanks a lot for putting this up.

I agree - as another G&S Brit fan. It's so good to see a production where they're obviously enjoying it so much

[ColCalverley]

WOW! What do I say? As a Brit and a great fan of G&S, this production of Trial by Jury was mounted for the very best reason - for the fun of it!! I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. My particular congratulations go to the Usher and the Counsel for the Plaintiff, both of whom executed their roles wonderfully, although both parts were originally written for men!!

'A Nice Dilemma' was particularly praiseworthy, I have known professional companies get hopelessly lost in this piece!

THANKS!
