What the critics said:

"New Australian musicals need the support of organisations such as Magnormos... this premiere of THE BEAUTY SPOT proves the point...  David Young's score is unceasingly melodic... the makings of a fun, catchy musical are all there."
- Jim Murphy (The Age)
 

What the audience said:

 

"Once again the Magnormos team have done miracles with 10 rehearsals"

"Fantastic! The melodies touching, the lyrics poignant, the direction and actors superb."

"Continually entertaining.  My first experience with a Magnormos 'reading' was most enjoyable and was impressed with the movement of the actors.  Would recommend THE BEAUTY SPOT"

"What a great achievement to write such a well-structured work that ties it all up.  Loved the direction / choreography and general presentation.  Very clear and clever."

"Really great basis for a hit show"

"A strongly moving parable of our human nature"

"Wow!  Sublime characterisation, the detail and 'subtlety' at times was unsurpassable."

"Outstanding.  A much needed break from reality."
