MANY congratulations to York Musical Theatre Company on its amazing UK premiere of Titanic: the musical, recently performed at York Theatre Royal. We saw this fantastic show last week and enjoyed every minute. The cast were sensitive and honest in their characterisations, and the orchestra played with intensity and style.

Stephen Sorby's awesome portrayal of radioman Harold Bride left us close to tears as he conveyed the anguish and despair as the ship's sinking became a realisation. Jessa Marshall's Alice Beane had us chuckling continuously.

Our congratulations to all the company and the director for this exciting production. You did York proud.

Ben and Rachel Williamson,

Ebsay Drive
