REVIEWS

THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

London Palladium

"The orchestra, conducted by Toby Higgins, skilfully work their way through an excellent score"  London Theatre 1

OLIVER!

UK Tour

"This brilliant piece of writing has rarely been bettered and is a perfect example of Dickensian life and language. The score, a masterpiece of light and shade, directed vibrantly by Toby Higgins, complements the lyrics, and the whole mesmerises the rapt audience from start to finish."

SUNSHINE ON LEITH

Leeds Playhouse

"Toby Higgins’ musical direction takes the salty, Celtic rock of The Proclaimers and expands their hits with a full-blooded musical arrangement, underpinned with vibrant acoustic guitars and a powerful ensemble chorus." Entertainment Focus

WIZARD OF OZ

Sheffield Crucible

"In the same way, all the performances combine picture-book clarity and emotional heft (a quality also of the live music, stunningly performed under Toby Higgins’s direction)" Guardian
