The WOW Show 2017

The cast of this April’s WOW Show received a standing ovation from the audience on their final performance on the Saturday night.  This stunning showcase celebrating 35 years of WOW had thrilled audiences as reflected on social media and the letters page of the Dorset Echo where Mr. And Mrs. Webb wrote,’…they  performed brilliantly, and the enthusiasm, polish and finesse really shone through….I am still buzzing from their show and really are amazed by the standard of the performances of these wonderful young people.’

Many, including Marion Cox in her review for the Dorset Echo, considered this show to be a good as anything that WOW has produced in its 35 years with ‘a host of classy dance routines in this non-stop show that never missed a beat, thanks to the inspired dedication of director and choreographer Martine Burt whose amazing talents bring out the best in the young performers.’ Marion also pays credit to the first class musical direction of Heather Reed.

Our NODA representative, Sylvia Cox, rated the show as ‘outstanding’ and you can read her show report here.
