Act Reviews 2024 / 2025 Season

were standout highlights of the production, showcasing impressive harmonised layered vocals during various numbers. Special mention goes to Rosie Aspden, the scuba mask dancer, whose playful movements added an enchanting touch to the scenes. Isabella Eaves, portraying the Old Lady, garnered uproarious laughter with her brilliant physical slapstick comedy as she settled down to enjoy her food, only to be accosted by mischievous seagulls—eventually outsmarting them with a secret chocolate stash that elicited a big laugh. The hilarious seagulls, played by Bella Haworth, Lydia Lamont, Ellissa Pickles, and Abigail Edmondson, contributed comedic flair with their jolty, bird-like physicality and a chorus of screechy “mine,” contrasting perfectly with the frustrated Old Lady. The combination of singing, dancing, and enthusiasm among the cast was impressive, particularly during collaborative moments like the shimmery shoal recreating the iconic Sydney Opera House scene, the inspiring net scene, and any scenes set at the reef. Together, they encapsulated the fun and companionship of the ocean community, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. Finding Nemo Jr. was a resounding success, showcasing the hard work of everyone involved—from the talented performers and dedicated production crew to the parent volunteers who supported rehearsals and made it all possible. Special mention goes to the chaperones: Michelle Cox, Leon Cox, Louise Jarvis, Sammy Greenwood, Amelia Norcross, Lucie Gillam, and Lisa Brewster, for their invaluable support. Congratulations to the entire team on a job well done and remember: just keep swimming!
