Find out what the press had to say about The Sound of Music UK tour... **** The Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh "Andrew Lloyd Webber's revival of the Broadway classic at the Playhouse shone like
snow on a frosty Austrian alp, and there couldn't have been many among the
near-capacity audience to exit on to Greenside Place without tunes like Edelweiss
and Do-Re-Mi ringing in their ears."
The Palace Theatre, Manchester "As far as the audience was concerned, it was a delight from start to finish."
The Sunderland Empire, Sunderland "[Connie's] voice is beautiful - strong and soft - and even when speaking she sounds so very much like Julie Andrews!"
The Mayflower, Southampton "It is a visual treat even superior to the acclaimed London Palladium version of the show and left the sell-out audience last night spellbound. A brilliant cast certainly deserved every moment of their lengthy ovation..."
Jim Nicholson, The Public Reviews website. The Alhambra, Bradford "Stunning child actors, stormtroopers in the audience and an incredibly strong Mother Abbess played by Margaret Preece..."
"Connie Fisher is brilliant as Maria and the young people playing the parts of the Von Trapp family children are also excellent, in particular Claire Fishenden who took the part of 16-year-old Liesl."
Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff "Connie is perfect in the role, both as an actress and singer. At times I did wonder whether if I closed my eyes I would be able to tell this was not actually Julie Andrews, such is her bright, crystal-clear voice."
"A sensational comeback."
"It takes a lot to hold your own against reality TV golden girl Connie Fisher, but so flawless is her supporting ensemble that this touring production never morphs into a one star vehicle."
"It's a sure-fire winner."
"Connie was superb as Maria."
"The Sound of Music is still a fabulous night at the theatre."
