Saw Panorama's Godspell in Frankston last week and was VERY impressed. For a youth company they have put on a fabulous show. Luke Dawson and Scott Charlesworth both play their characters with relative conviction, but the real higlight is the ensemble. Another 30 odd young actors singing and dancing with so much energy and enthusiasm. Every gets something to do, which must be very rewarding. Big mentions to Maggie Jacob, for Bless The Lord and Jeska? Shanahan for her version of Learn Your Lessons well. Andrew Lane has done some great things with the music and Brian Hugo has introduced some wonderful harmonies to the cast. Kimberley Falcke has done a great job in moving the whole cast. Director, Shannon Mead, who is only young, has brought a sense of sensitivity and maturity to this production. Will be looking forward to see if there are any nominations in the upcoming Theatre Guild Awards.

I to saw godspell on the closing night and I just wanted to say a huge congrats to the enitre cast and production team - You've all done an amazing job!! Well done on a what I'm sure was an excellent season!

Now as for people I would like to single out - Jeska Shanhan did a great job singing her song Learn your lessons well and really looked to be having a lot of fun with it! Maggie Jacob sang one of the best rendtions of Bless the lord I think i've heard in a very long time! Luke Dawson and Scott Charlesworth both did fabulous work!

Shannon Mead as director has now set a standered for himself!! He has done a wondeful job and I wish him and his cast every bit of luck with the Guild nomitations!!
