Reviews
The
following are excerpts from some of the many letters received
regarding our show
"We had seen the show both in London and Melbourne and the BMT performance was right up there especially the clarity of diction which was quite outstanding."
"Thanks for 'Les Miserables'. It was just brilliant! Such talent!"
"It never ceases to amaze me of the quality of talent that you recruit for you shows. Not only the cast, but equally important the stage crew and orchestra."
"We thought the singing and acting performances of all the principals and the chorus were the equal if not better than the "professional" show we have seen."
"Congratulations on your presentation of 'Les Miserables'. It was terrific! My wife and I enjoyed it tremendously. We now look forward to the 'Mikado'."
