DID Charles Hutchinson see the same show as I did (Whistle Down The Wind review, May 11).

I had previously seen the production with a different cast in Bradford last October, and took a party of our carers to last Wednesday's matinee at the Grand Opera House.

The cast was superb, the production slick - and a packed house and our group thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, finding it a moving and uplifting experience.

Congratulations to all concerned.
