The World Goes 'Round
Fri, 11 Oct 2002, 02:19 pmI saw The World Goes 'Round last night and I must say it was a fantastic show. The ensemble worked beautifully together with great focus and energy throughout. The performance flowed beautifully and it was also very funny. I could go on and on about it but for now I'll just mention each of the performers and what I enjoyed most about them.
Amanda Chesterton
Amanda is a wonderful character actress as we so enjoyed last year, when she was Madame Thenardier in Les Mis at the Regal. She is such a versatile performer, with a great professionalism and she is a joy to watch. My personal favourite was "Arthur" from The Act.. hilarious!! I really can't say enough about Amanda!
Stuart Laing
Stuart, as always was totally involved at all times and had a huge energy. "Kiss of the Spider Woman" was incredible, his voice is just beautiful and he was very intimidating in this song! "The Happy Time" was also wonderful - a very sensitive portrayal. I enjoyed his "Norm" character as well!! Great work Stuart, you're a joy to watch.. keep at it!
Chris Kabay
Chris is just wonderful also. His performance was entertaining, honest and focused. Loved "Sara Lee" and "I Don't Remember You." The harmonies were uplifted by the sparkling tenor line and his solos were very enjoyable. Chris has a very sensitive, easy- to - listen- to kind of voice.. if that makes sense! Great job Chris!
Bree Mcgurk
Bree was also excellent. Her comic timing is wonderful and she was really funny in the humourous songs.. "The Grass is Always Greener" and "Class" Bree has a remarkable lower register, a beautiful tone and an all around great stage presence. Well done!
Analisa Bell
Analisa has a lovely voice, "Maybe This Time" and (most especially) "My Coloring Book" (love that song!) were beautiful. Analisa also has wonderful expression and acting-wise she was extremely good - and funny! Really enjoyed your performance Analisa!
Simon Holt, this was a triumph, congratulations on a great show to start off your new company. The show was put together beautifully and I loved all the little suprises/comedy/props etc. The ensemble was beautifully balanced, focused and obviously rehearsed - the show was so "tight" - they didn't miss a beat.
Congratulations to all and thanks for a lovely evening!

Re: The World Goes 'Round
I saw the show tonight and was a little more than somewhat overawed at the quality of the talent and the polish of the performances. JG has given a modest summary.
I'm only surprised that more reviews haven't been posted - it was the last night tonight so those who have missed it have REALLY missed it!

Re: The World Goes 'Round
I saw this show on the last friday and i was blown away by just how amazing it was. I usually go for plays and musicals with a meaty storyline, but the world goes 'round had none of this and it would have to rate as one of the most entertaining shows ive come across. The company put it on so well with an absolutely fantastic cast who gave such a life to the songs they performed.
Special credit must go to Bree Mcgurk who really kept this amazing professionalism through out the show. Her controlling presence on stage for her first song, "The World Goes 'Round" was overpowering and really set the scene. She has such a great alto voice that provided such depth to the ensemble numbers. Her almost sarcastic manner captivated me and the rest of the audience. A fantastic performer with alot going for her.
Analisa Bell had such a beautiful presence on stage. her expression-full face was a joy to watch as reacted to her surrondings. She really made such an impact was the main source of liveliness on stage. She knew exactly how to react. I think she has found her niche in cabaret.
her variety and showcase of different abilites was evident in her fantastic performance of 'class' with Bree. Throughout the show she showed that she has many talents and her singing was first rate.
Amanda Chesterton really has a great performance style, delivering what the audience want. My personal favourite was her rendition of 'Arhtur' in which she showed her varsatility by playing such an old seedy woman so well. She kept this character throughout the whole song which is to be admired. She has a most amazing voice, and her performance in this production probably has been the best suited for her that ive seen.
Chris Kabay has has a most beautiful voice that conveys so much emotion. It is so fitting to whatever song or characted he needs to be. He made a fantastic "Mr Cellophane" and was really amazing with his acting in "The Grass is Laways Greener" and "In The Rink". He has a great future ahead of him, well i hope so, because that is one hell of a voice that needs to be heard more.
Stuart Laing gave so much of himself throughout the performance, it was a real credit to him. Stuart has such a resonating voice that was really warm and made me leaving the theatre feeling amazing. His ability to let so much come out of himself, emotionally, through is songs is to be admired. "The Kiss Of the Spiderwoman" was an amazing showcase of Stuarts talents. His ability to just hit those top notes and still keep his composure was to be admired. The main thing that was his ability to be part of the stage and the action even when he was frozen sitting on the couch at the back of the stage. Stuart really carried alot of energy that kept the show rolling.
Congratulations must also go to Simon Holt who played the piano faultlessly. I love his rendition of Cabaret, it was just so nice and refreshing. It was a pity we didnt get to hear his beautiful voice more often in the play as it was a really good one song.
I really enjoyed this show. It was fantastic to seee it. and i hope the rumours of a come back season in december are true, as i will definantly be going back to see it. Its a pity its over for now as it means that i cant recommend ppl to go see it. It was an absolutely amazing show and if it was still on i would really be recommending people to go see it.
Congratulations Yellow Glass Theatre Company Inc. and congratulations everyone who was part of the cast. It was the most entertaining shoe tapping show i have see in a LONG LONG LONG time.
