Waihi Drama Society Inc Reviews

 Another great production

 Very sad subject matter but portrayed brilliantly. Small cast were outstanding, particularly the lead.

 The theatre is too hot we left at half time

 Free bickies - wow

 Great publicity covering a wide area. We live in Matamata and saw the poster in Thames. Booking was easy and warmly welcomed at the door.

 Fabulous evening! Hilarious and a great history lesson.

 We had never been to the Waihi Drama Society before and what an awesome evening and experience.

 The sale description should have included: - that is is a local production, - what food is being served, - until when is the early bird price applicable and what is the price afterwards, - what kind of play it was = musical. It would also be nice to have a Gold Card reduction. The script and lyrics were fantastic, the pace really good. Great team. Unfortunately a lot of the content was either inaudible or not pronounced/enunciated well enough. (man with two eyes?!)

 What a powerful professional performance. The musicians were spot on. The staging and costumes were great. The actors were all so full of life and looked like they were enjoying themselves. Congratulations to everyone involved. Look forward to your next production.

 I have been attending the performances over the last seven or eight years after I returned tibWaihi from almost fourteen years in Sydney. I have continued to be impressed and have enjoyed most immensely

 Well organized event.

 What better way to spend a wet Sunday afternoon than seeing the latest play from Waihi Drama Society - “Cash on Delivery”. It was great entertainment, acted with enthusiasm and care. A great ensemble cast who all threw themselves into their roles. I would thoroughly recommend it.

 Easy to buy and print tickets. But the discount code buying tickets online wasn’t working at first and had to ring up to sort out tickets. It did work a couple of weeks later.

 People were friendly

 The play was so well cast & directed , so well performed , and so well set with a full interesting stage of props . It was an incredible show with youth theatre actors certainly showing amazing talent . The play was engrossing and very “telling” if trauma effects … The heat of the audience area was a bit much . So glad of a 15 min break and plenty of cooled water available

 Absolutely brilliants. Well cast. Poignant and evoked deep emotions. Extremely well directed!

 An excellent production from the set to the acting and directing. A must see!!

 It was so good. Loved it

 Very entertaining! Possibly the thing I’ve enjoyed the most at the Waihi theatre

 It’s was an amazing show - so much talent on the stage. a true life story told in such a great way - I could see the show on the big stage too. Congratulations to everyone involved - to those who missed it - you missed a treay

 Awesome show, humorous and very entertaining. We'll worth watching.

 Fantastic production. High energy, strong cast and a chance to educate the audience on the story of an amazing woman.

 Fantastic performances and great topic.

 Brilliant, such a fun show with a history lesson. Well done to everyone involved. Excellent A++++

 Wow wow wow! A brilliant lively performance, Absolutely Stella performance you should be also proud

 A fabulous Show! My other half does not like musicals....he loved it. The characters were fun, whilst being angry, therefore very skilled, it was a stage full of colour & talent. We were a captive audience, we laughed, sang along and shed some tears. we love you Kate xx Well done everyone at the Waihi Drama Society.

 Was impressed by the actors who were faultless in executing their lines. The singing was well done and in the whole l enjoyed the performance. Being elderly though some of it was rather loud fir me and I have to say t that my enjoyment was diminished by an audience member in close vicinity to me wearing a very large amount of a very heady perfume which was very unpleasant in a confined space

 A wonderful show that was so professionally presented we could have been in New York! It was two hours of education and entertainment. Well done Waihi Drama. 👏

 Friends and I were very happy we had gotten together and attended the show . The talent hard work and effectiveness of the people involved was so noticeable . The set up right from walking into the lobby , greeting , foyer display and cast bio pics , to the stage set and costuming were superb . The cast and crew did a stunning performance and job . Cheers

 Awesome Show - Very well done

 One of the group can’t stop singing a couple of

 Great show. Very well done. Humorous and lively.

 Amazing musical and what a show!

 What amazing talent it was an awesome night

 Really great show! Interesting history lesson, entertaining & laughed til I cried! Well done Waihi Drama Society!!

 A great night - really good cast, lots of laughter and music , thoroughly enjoyable.

 Amazing show. Such a talented, gorgeous actress.

 Great play, staged wonderfully. I was transported to truly horrible places.

 We found Prime Facie fascinating, traumatic, brilliantly acted!

 John's embodiment and expression of the many characters he portayed was astonishing. He wove his intercultural tale in disciplined dance and powerful voice bringing our history and cultures alive in a way I have not experienced before. For me it was profound.

 Excellent play! It was a shame it wasn't more widely promoted with the schools in the area to get a bigger audience, as it was fantastic for the kids.

 Awesome

 great movies and dramatic events.

 Loved the refreshments at half time.We found everyone so welcoming and friendly from the moment we walked in the door.Thank you so much.Cant wait for the next show.

 Thoroughly enjoyable evening. There’s even more laughs to milk out of this script.

 Appreciated the discount on tickets. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.

 Been loving what Waihi Drama does for 12 years.

 Very well done, excellent voice, interesting about serious topics.

 Good effort for 1 man show

 An excellent production. Chris Green gave an outstanding performance

 Fun show

 Absolutely blown away by the talent portrayed on stage last night from the entire cast. Congratulations ladies, Edwin and crew for yet another hugely successful show, well done.

 That was the best play I have seen by far! Oh my goodness one moment I’m just about in tears then the next I’m laughing so hard a could hardly breathe. Fantastic job ladies you were absolutely AMAZING!!

 A most entertaining and enjoyable evening in a delightful venue. My friend and I laughed a lot about the book club story - so true to life!

 AnAmazing cast of beautiful wahine that performed a very enjoyable show. It was funny, witty, insightful all while being totally relatable. Very well done

 Really enjoyed the show.

 Thoroughly enjoyable - well casted - a great laugh!

 Very funny but quite long.

 Very very funny and very professional and well stage managed. Great music.

 Absolutely fabulous show. The cast are so talented and we roared with laughter and related to all six characters. A great Sunday afternoon of entertainment.

 Excellent entertaining evening. Inventive, funny, loved it!

 Interesting concept of presentation

 Superb show that had me & my friends doubled over in laughter almost constantly! Such talent & skill, and those songs being improvised - well done

 Absolutely top notch. Haven't laughed like that in so long. Hughley talented cast. Would happily watch it all again. Thank you for a superb evening.

 Fantastic evenings entertainment, lots of fun, very talented cast, very clever dialogue. Would recommend this shoe for a good night out.

 The performance was excellent and believable- well scripted and the actor played the role to perfection

  Appropriate topic for time of life -

 Very interesting 🤔, food for thought... Chris was so able to put the emotions into it, we really thought he was talking about his own life...

 A fabulously engaging show, most enjoyable- Di Logan

 wonderful show great cast well done to all .

 Didn’t get to see it as had the starting time wrong - no parking when l got there half an hour late. Didn’t think l should try to get in and find my seat would have bern disruptive

 Enjoyed the performance

 We took some friends that have never been to the theatre before, they really enjoyed it and laughed and laughed. So it was a hit.

 Was an amazing show Really enjoyed it The cast played there parts well Will be back

 What a fantastic night of pure entertainment... I don't think I have ever laughed so much in one sitting!! We are so fortunate to have so much talent in our little town... Cash on Delivery - a great hit worth every $...

 A great performance! We'll done everyone!!!

 very funny well executed play by lovable non-professional actors

 Fantastic show well done to all

 The fact that I had a smile on my face from start to finish says it all as far as I am concerned - which is not to say that I didn't laugh out loud frequently.

 Travelling around New Zealand has been made all the more special as we catch local events, and Cash on Delivery was no exception. We had a fabulous time at this small venue. The seating was comfortable, the beverages were tasty, the crowd and cast were equally enthusiastic and the price was right. The play itself was entertaining, and the few opening night hiccups fit nicely into the flow of the show. We highly recommend it.

 Brilliant opening night. Foyer felt like walking into a cocktail lounge and bar and 70’s style nibbles were a fun touch! Well done to all!

 Overall it was an enjoyable night out. However I felt the whole production wasn't quite ready for the stage (some cast unsure of lines, the 'dead body and stretcher' gags needed tidying up, and need to work out timing and techniques for hiding the 'special effects'). The play was also lacking pace in many places. It was a good fun farce with moments of absolute splendid comedy. Well done.

 Missed this one because my grandchild got very sick.

 Such a wonderful experience for my 6 year old daughter, she smiled throughout the show and was filled with wonder. Very talented performers and a varied and informative show. Loved the use of instruments and songs. My 2 year old enjoyed it but I believe they have a recommendation for 5 years and up which is think is sensible and accurate. Hope they tour again soon and head up the Coromandel Peninsula.

 very good quality ecofriendly and interesting Coelho-style reverie

 All four of us (two Kiwis and two Brits) greatly enjoyed this production - we thought the script was excellent, the acting brilliant and very moving and the direction very controlled. An impressive achievement.

 Well acted and a gripping storyline

 Awesome show- such a privilege to have this calibre of music in Waihi. More please!!!!

 BRILLIANT

 Loved the night. Waihi needs some more of that!

 Outstanding concert - great venue.

 Great talent- and the fact that they are local is so cool

 As always very well done.

 Haven’t laughed so hard in ages

 Fantastic night

 It was funny and nice to go to a local event :) Keep up the great work :)

 Very enjoyable evening

 Great acting Thought provoking plot Highly recommended

 Attended The Viewing Room with my mother and we both loved it! Funny, thoughtful, engaging and well written. Hats off to the cast who delivered the lines with perfect timing ensuring we all had a good laugh.

 I enjoyed that one as well.

 Pretty good for an opening night performance. I think with a few less nerves and a bit more practice it will get better and better.

 It was just okay. But great effort and I can appreciate the work involved in producing this
