What a fantastic show. The Mother Superior gave me goose bumps when she sang Climb every Mountain. AS for Connie Fisher and Michael Praed they were brilliant. The children,especially little Gretel were wonderful. It was a wonderful performance by the whole cast. Thank you for bringing the show to The Mayflower Theatre.

What a show!! It was absolutely fantastic. Connie is a wonderful Maria and the chemistry that exists amongst all the cast is spot on and very believable. The children were all very talented. their singing and acting skills were second to none and they were so full of energy. The show has the right mixture of emotions from funny one liners to goose bump moments especially when the Mother Superior sings "Climb Every Mountain". I just didn`t want the show to come to an end. Thank you so much for bringing this great show on tour.

Wow what a great show. I was lucky enough to see the show with my Nan and Mum last night. It was brill and I especially liked seeing all the children in the show. I loved all the beautiful costumes that all the cast wear and really loved Maria`a wedding dress! I loved all the songs that the children sang especially the Lonely Goatherd and Do Ri Me - they were such great fun. All the children and Maria seemed to be having such a great time. The ending was really moving and I loved the nuns singing Climb Every Mountain. I wish I could go and see the show again. Well done eveyone - especially the children and Connie.

We are thrilled with all of the wonderful comments that people have left. We are really pleased that you have enjoyed the show so much as we certainly have a fantastic time performing for you. There is no greater feeling than when we receive a standing ovation from the audience. Thanks for your encouragment.

Thank you for such a wonderful production of The Sound of Music, it was fabulous! Connie was amazing, Margaret was brilliant, the children were superb and Michael was fanastic, I could watch this time and time again. Thanks the rest of the cast who were truly great and back stage who are always amazing. Thanks.

I saw the Sound of Music last night and would just like to congratulate the cast and the staff at the Mayflower for putting on an excellent performance. Although Connie Fisher does not perform on Monday evenings this did not detract from a wonderful performance and the alternate Maria, Kirsty Malpass was simply superb. If you fancy getting away from the doom and gloom of 'credit crunch' Britain for a few hours and transporting yourself to the singing hills of 1930's Austria then I fully recommend seeing this show!

Having seen this show four times at the Palladium, it was great to see it again at The Mayflower on Saturday afternoon (3rd October). The production is almost identical to London, except for the mountain. The entire cast were fantastic, especially the children. Michael Praed was a very good Captain and Connie looked and sang even better than in London. The one criticism was moving "The Lonely Goatherd" to the bedroom scene instead of "My Favourite Things". Definitely one of the best touring shows we have seen (and we have seen most of them). Congratulations to the entire team.

I can only echo all the previous comments on this fantastic production. Any lucky person yet to see the show,trust me,you will enjoy it! It is one of the best shows that I have seen at he Mayflower. In fact as Craig Revel-Horwood would say it was simply FAB-U-LOUS! Well done to all the cast, especially Mother Superior singing Climb every Mountain. I could listen to her singing that song all day. Hope it returns to the Mayflower again in the not too distant future.

In one word. BRILLIANT! i am not a big fan of the film but the stage show was incredible. Connie and Michael were so great, excelent raport between them. The children were incredible given there young age. They have a brilliant career ahead of them if that is how they are starting out. Both Connie and Michael were so curtious after the show, even with the rain, and stayed to meet us eager autograph hunters. I will definitely be seeing the show again before it finishes its run at Southampton.

Wow, wow, This was the best show I have ever seen, Connie was fanfastic, and the whole cast, a special well done to the children as well, you where all so good. I enjoyed it so much I have just booked to see it again on the last night, and I really can't wait !!!! Take care cast !! see you on the 24th. (wish I could come every night)

I saw this production at the Palladium three times and can quite honestly say that this touring version is actually better than the London version! OK, so the mountain was little more a small incline, but this was far outweighed by the cast being SUPERB and little touches that made it a brilliant show. Congratulations to Claire Fishenden - Liesel- far superior to her London counterpart; her acting moved me to to tears on more than one occasion last night. And oh what a joy to have a Captain von Trapp who can actually sing. They way Michal Praed 'unbent' from the stiff Captain in the beginning to the warm and loving father and husband was marvellous. I saw Lesley Garret and Margaret Preece at the Palladium as the Mother Abbess and although I love Lesley on stage, Margaret really knocks her into a cocked hat both in her fanatstic acting skills and simply phenomenal voice. More tears flowed when she sang Climb Every Mountain! And of course well done to Connie, who seemed to be struggling somewhat last night - I did wonder if she would appear after the interval as she had a cold which was obviously affecting her voice, but in real trouper style, she was there in the second act. The children were excellent - I am pleased the producers went with a touring company of children instead of pulling then from local dance schools, as they were true pros! Thank you so much to all involved - I hope The Sound of Music returns very soon!

I went along to see it with a couple of friends of mine. I was singing along. I thought the show was great. I bought myself a pink von trapp top/t-shirt from the gift shop. I thought connie was perfect for the main lead role as Maria. Edelweiss and climb every mountain are both 2 of my top favourite songs from the show. Congratulations and well done to all the sound of music cast. Goodluck and all the very best for the future to you all.

I went to see Sound of music and what a show The scenery was fantastic The cast was fantastic Well done to all the cast and crew In one part of the show in the garden bit i not sure if it was ment to happen but connie ate a bit of cake then turned round to the next person on stage to give out her line but tried to speak as she had her mouth full she had the audience laughing and in stitches cause she was delivering her lines whilst having her mouth full it was the best show i seen it was a great night out Well done Mayflower for bringing it to southampton

Amazing!! My husband and i took my mother and we were all very impressed. I was an avid follower of the search for Maria shows, my husband said Connie would win after week 2 and i agreed. Her voice surpassed our expectations, and she really did sing and act as she had promised when she won the show "as if every night was her first night"! I thought Michael Praed was fantastic as the Captain, and is even more gorgeous than when he was younger! Maggie Preece blew us away when she sang, it really was out of this world. The set was brilliant, really well done, and the children all played their part wonderfully...i'd love to go back and see it again!

WOW! What a show, absolutely everyone played their roles fantastically well - particularly Mother Abbess, she was indescribably amazing when singing Climb every mountain! I couldn't recommend this enough - one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I took mum as a 50th birthday treat, it wouldn't have been a choice for me otherwise. BUT how wrong was I? It was amazing! As I think the general feel of the comments are - Connie was great, but the one that really made an impact was the Mother Superior in her song 'Climb ev'ry Mountain'. The children were all great too. And I have to make a special mention to the lighting and set design. Both of which were superb. Very clever how the doors danced on during the 'party'. Would definitely see again and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good show. Thanks for another great night out.

We had an excellent time, the whole performance was brilliant. It's been some time since we went to the theatre, and if they are like this, we'll definitely back. Value for money doesn't even compare to a football match or other form of entertainment, this was 2 and half hours of sheer professionalism. Thank you one and all (as an aside, how de we get a cast list for the afternoon) - we want to mark off in our program as many of those starring will be around for some time..especially the younger ones.

Margaret Preece stole the show with her fabulous rendition of 'Climb every mountain'....didn't realise how good a voice Michael Praed has!!!! well done.....and all the children were brill!!!! This was a great birthday treat....

Fabulous show. Three generations of our family enjoyed it. Connie was even better than I expected, in fact we all agreed she was as good as Julie Andrews! The rest of the cast was excellent and the orchestra deserves a special mention too. Puzzled by one thing though-there were only 6 children in the second half so they escaped over the mountain apparently leaving one of the girls behind!!

What a fantastic Show! Brilliant evening and thoroughly enjoyed by all in our group - Connie Fisher was amazing and the children were spot on in their dancing and singing! I would definitely see this again. Margaret Preece moved a couple in our group to tears with her rendition of Climb every Mountain! One of the eagle eyed in our group spotted that there were only 6 Von Trapp children after the interval and I do hope the missing one is ok! Well done to you all for entertaining us so well!
Mrs Hall

WOW!!!!!!! The best show I ever seen one of the best nights of my life connie she is just amzing. The children were outsanding I loved little Gretl she was so sweet. I will never forget this show as it is my favourate musical. Thankyou very much for bringing it to the mayflower. Please come to the mayflower again. All the best for the rest of the tour.
Sarah
IOW

What a fantastic show! So many wonderful comments on here and I agree with every one of them. My sister-in-law and my self actually went to see Michael Praed! We saw him years ago in 'Leave him to Heaven' at the Nuffield and have always been fans of his! He didn't disappoint and we were so pleased seeing him (still as handsome!!). The whole cast were amazing. Connie sang effortlessly and was absolutely fantastic throughout. The whole cast were brilliant and you watched with confidence. Sometimes you see a show and worry that mistakes could be made. With this production, it was so well done. We all tend to applaud the main stars of the show, but it goes without saying how much input everyone has, from stage management, props, etc. etc. So many thanks to you all for providing over 2 hours of fantastic entertainment.

Undoubtedly the best musical the Mayflower has played host to this year. This was truly a first class West End production. The new mountain set was far superior to that used at the Palladium and gave a better feel to the beginning and, to the journey over the alps at the end. The sound was absolutely spot on throughout, unlike some other productions at the Mayflower, every spoken and sung word could be heard clearly and, not once did the orchestra (playing superbly)drown out the singing. This was a magnificent show which deserved the full houses it achieved. Connie Fisher, Margaret Preece, et al thank you for a wonderful show. My only gripe concerns part of the the stage. The false proscenium/wings which, as in other productions, extend beyond the original stage sides obscure part of the stage for anyone sitting at the side of the auditorium or in an expensive box.
