Reviews For Cyrano de Bergerac

“Musicians Rejoice!

And….. the music gives singers opportunities to flex their dramatic and vocal muscles, to sing high and low without grovelling in the laryngeal nether regions. A children’s chorus gets to process a la Sound of Music and bring it all to a celestial finale, Singers Rejoice!”

Patricia Kelly – October 7 1994 – The Australian

“Melody after Memorable Melody – intricate and breathtaking in scope. He is a genuine master!”

Iain MacDonald – October 13 1994 – The Argus – Capetown SA

“It has some truly memorable and melodic music which can stand on it’s own, the mark of a good musical.”

Peta Koch – October 17 1994 – Courier Mail

“Australia has an extraordinary composer in David Reeves. What he has done with Cyrano is beautiful.”

Mary Nemeth – October 7 1994 – Australian Financial Review

“…the music feels the story. That is the strength of Reeves’ music. It is melodious, it has strong rhythmic pulse, but above all, it reflects the mood of the words. I particularly warmed to Roxanne’s song, About You.”

Barbara Hebdon – November 8 1992 – Sunday Mail

“There was something about the way Normie Rowe and Tommy Tycho spoke that went beyond natural enthusiasm for a new project – Reeves’ Cyrano de Bergerac…..to say they were keen would be the understatement of the year.”

Frank Gauntlett – December 26 1992 – Sydney Telegraph
