Although I am familiar with the headline songs, I have never seen Evita on stage before so this event was the perfect opportunity to rectify that. We were not disappointed.
The Cockett Amateur Operatic Society has been staging annual shows since 1963, starting off with a number of Gilbert and Sullivan productions before branching out into more diverse musical theatre in 1981. We were told that a number of their members also participate in other amateur groups in the City.
This particular production was slick and professional, and the principal players, Joanne Griffiths as Eva, Nick Packer as Che, Dean Walker as Peron, Carys Melodie Comlet as Mistress and Saul Woods as Magaldi were all outstanding. It was a most enjoyable evening.
We will certainly try to come back next year if the diary allows for Sister Act.
