What the press have had to say
“Its energy, polish, entertainment, glitz and a clutch of instantly likable songs held the audience right to the rousing sing-along closing with When our boys come marching home. It was a top-class show of music, fun and surprise. In a bold and imaginative move, Trevor Pilling used World War I archive film on a giant screen, providing a moving backdrop to the song When I’m alone at night. Certainly Below Stairs deserves to be seen by a wider audience.”
“Why does it succeed so brilliantly? The basic excellence stems from well-polished script and lyrics, giving the foundation for a fine variety of tuneful songs. Witty lines and good humour were supplied in abundance... and the finale was superb. Below Stairs deserves to go forward, hopefully to national recognition.”
“The show is jam-packed with loads of tuneful, toe-tapping (and sometimes cheeky) numbers. There wasn’t a duff song in the whole thing. Below Stairs is a timeless piece of musical theatre that certainly deserves a wider audience and if some kind entrepreneur or impresario wants a sure-fire hit, they need look no further.”
“Below Stairs is in a class of its own .... a splendidly entertaining musical production .... Trevor Pilling and Alan Lewis have provided for Lucy’s triumphant progress from rags to riches a wondrously woven tapestry peopled with believable characters, full of humour, human tenderness, and a number of very enjoyable songs.”
