Quotes from Miss Sign-On“…This is a new musical with some great songs
and routines, carried out by a cast of six, who manage to make their
presence feel much larger… Marnie Baumer has a terrific singing
voice and is clearly a musical theatre pro, and there are some good
cameo performances from other cast members. After a rousing finale,
the audience storm the stage.” “…The cast is ably led by Marnie Baumer and
supported by 5 other actors who double and treble up on parts without
ever losing credibility. The numerous changes to the clever but minimalist
set are also carried out by the cast together with several costume changes
so their considerable talent and ability to multi-task should hopefully
keep them out of the local job centre. In a studio setting you could
see that this production played to a smiling and engaged audience.” “MISS SIGN-ON is a joy – catch it quickly
because I predict this will have the full-house sign outside the George
2 tardis very soon. I’ll never listen to an audition song in the
same way again. It’s a masterclass in pastiche… A special
thank you to the diva Ms Marnie Baumer for giving us a performance to
treasure, and the rest of the cast for their musicality and instant
characterisation – I recognised everyone…including the lady
at the dole office…” “…Miss Sign-on is the hysterically witty story
of The Diva, played by the brilliant Marnie Baumer who finds herself
out of work and a bit strapped for cash… Written by Stefan Bednarczyk
and Jamie Read and directed by Elizabeth Park, Miss Sign-on is not to
be missed. Nestled snugly into the cozy space of George two at the Musical
Theatre at George Square Venue, there is not a bad seat in the house.
Without a doubt, Miss Sign-on will have you rolling in the isles and
begging for more!” "Of course, the night was The Diva’s. Marnie
Baumer played her to perfection – never once compromising the
truth of this cartoon character while making her both intensely loathable
and superbly lovable. Her numbers flowed, full of rich character, and
her movement was marvellous. Numbers such as “Twenty-Six”
and “Miss Sign-On” will not be readily forgotten...Impeccable
comic timing" |
