WHAT'S THE FORUM GOT TO DO WITH IT?
the cast, the musical direction and choreography are wonderful… Gardner & Wife can pat themselves on the back… + more

06/05/2002 New Straits Times
Simon Gray's musical direction really hit the nail on the head. His sound cues are near flawless and the orchestra, which is really quite wonderful, will leave you humming the familiar tunes…

07/05/2002 The Malay Mail
Fuad Tengku Ahmad… had remarkable stage presence… Equally impressive… Reza Zainal Abidin… talented and versatile Gani Abdul Karim… Farah Sulaiman… her vibrant choreography… Dominique Devorsine's costume scheme was imaginative… Lian Miew Ching's impressive set design…

07/05/2002 The Sun
Right from the start, Pseudolus is Chef Wan… kudos to director Richard Gardner for having the genius of casting Chef Wan, the best thing he ever did for this show.
