recently i saw an amdram production of whistle down the wind the ALW version and it was at professional standard. The orcheatra were out of this world, set was fantastic, cast fantastic lighting fantastic not one aspect let the show down!!!
I think I missed the first one of these but will tune in next week and series-link it. I've seen some great am-dram stuff, and some terrible ones - sometimes by the same company.
