I miss musical theatre... I just cried all the way through this... every single piece of music reminds me of being in all those WestEnd and Broadway theatres... What an insane job all of you guys did... I just want to hug the arranger and sound engineer. ❤️❤️❤️

Regardless that many ideas were lifted from the originals and Barry Manilow’s Overture of Overture I give credit for lifting from the best. The biggest value and I credit Alan for bringing all the musicians together and bringing us all back to the music and times we all long for and appreciate. The best musicians from the London pool and music we all love. I think a big nod is due to all the great arranger/orchestrators that inspired this. Bennett, Lang, Tunick, Ginzler, Kostal, Walker, Spialek,Royal,Burns, Sauter, Kay,Ramin, Brohn,Sauter, Matz, Byers, Tyler, Wilcox,Troob, Starobin, Besterman, Hochman, Boardman and the composers...Styne, Hamlisch, Rodger, Kander on and on and please forgive me for all the names I left out. Kudos to Alan for putting this together and the efforts of all of his collaborators named or otherwise. Dimitri Tiomkin (great film composer) when he won an Academy Award thanked every composer he had stolen ideas from. The result deserves a great nod for bringing us all some happiness. Many kudos to the great musicians who played it. Larry Blank - Los Angeles 3 Dec, 2020

Fabulous! I already had tickets for Hello Dolly, Sunday in the Park With George, Malory Towers and South Pacific in Chichester. All cancelled - disappointing for fans, but devastating for all the wonderful talented musicians and performers and back stage folk. The Return will be so overwhelming - sobbing at the thought of it. Only consolation is that you will be wildly appreciated now we've realised how much we've missed you all. Bravo all round, particularly to the sensational arranger! And thank you all.
