Spend Spend Spend - Watermill, Newbury
What the audience said

"I've never written in to a theatre before but I just want to say what a fabulous show I found Spend, Spend, Spend to be. The vitality, versatility and talent of the players left me speechless. Brilliant acting, singing, musicianship, choreography and dancing. And not a single weak member in the team. What more could anyone want from a night out?"

"Wow wow wow!! I saw this show on sat evening, and what a fab show it is! I'm a drama teacher in Crawley , and have seen so many shows - this ranks as one of my favourites! Such energy, passion from all of the cast - and so well played! I laughed, cried, and didn't want it to end...and what an amazingly talented cast! They all act, play, sing and move beautifully. And the bunny costumes were a hoot - some of the faces the boys in drag were pulling were genius! Thanks, and i plan to see it again"

"I came to see Spend Spend Spend last night with my father and would like to say what an absolutely fantastic show it was - it was without doubt the most enjoyable theatrical performance I have ever been to. I laughed so much it hurt, yet also found it very moving. I will be recommending it to everyone - and am planning to come back and see it again!"

"The Watermill version is great fun, laughter all the way.just like the West End in 1999 and the tour in 2001 the person playing young Viv (was Rachel Leskovac back then) Kirsty Hoiles steals the show. She is fantastic and Greg Barnett is a very believable Keith. Great show, great night out, great theatre."

"I would give the show at The Watermill 9/10. Craig Revel Horwood choreographed the West End and touring production and here he directs and choreographs. he has replicated his dances from the original show in a couple of places, and the ensemble cast manage to do it as much justice here as in the larger production at the Piccadilly.again like other Watermill shows this ensemble works their asses off, and don't stop for the entire show!!"

"I just wanted to tell you that we attended the first preview of Spend and found it just splendid - the play (especially the first half), the wonderful acting, the trademark handling of the music, and the incredible energy that just seems to wash over the whole theatre during a Watermill production. We loved it (and of course you may quote us). Thanks for the experience." (Robin Elliott and Sheila Gordon, New York City , July 21)
