RAVES FOR DAVID'S DIRECTION OF...

BY JEEVES
--> 2009 Oscar Wilde Nominee for Best Musical or Musical Revue

" Publicity Shot from By Jeeves at the Meadow Brook Theatre Thanks to an inspired cast and direction, the show is funny, engaging and exceedingly smart.

"One of the hardest things to pull off in a show like this is a consistent comic tone. Director David Edwards, who was in the cast during the show's belated Broadway opening in 2001, understands just how far to let his actors go over the top.

"This production proves that By Jeeves is more than a musical theater footnote. It's economical to stage and apparently as much fun to perform as it is to watch." --John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

RUMORS

“For director David Edwards and his cast RUMORS must be anything but easy. The dialog and blocking are fast paced and sometimes intricate, the timing is crucial. Yet the entire cast hits its mark like a well-oiled machine. Although I truly loved some of the musicals of summer they now seem as tepid and tame as a Nativity pageant compared to the crackling, contemporary wit and breakneck pace of RUMORS...the fastest, funniest evening in New Jersey...
-- Tom Wrona, The Beachcomer

SOUTH PACIFIC

“The production directed by David Edwards, is polished. It appears this year will mark another milestone in Surflight’s efforts to upgrade the caliber of its shows.”
-- Steven V. Cronin, The Press of Atlantic City

“Surflight Theatre is making waves with SOUTH PACIFIC. Directed by David Edwards, the musical was simply charming…inspiring, performed flawlessly…”
-- Stefani Allegretti, The Islander

“Anyone who likes musicals straight up, without any chasers, will take to the Surflight Theatre’s production of SOUTH PACIFIC, directed by David Edwards. It delivers bubbly as best as any glass of Veuve Cliquot can—and it’s just as seductive…not only the bubbly, but also serves up a powerful plot as well…a production that succeeds admirably. When it comes to SOUTH PACIFIC this season at Surflight, think of Bloody Mary’s trademark phrase which helps to say it all: ‘You like?’ You will.”
-- Marjorie Amon Stone, THE BEACHCOMBER

MESHUGGAH-NUNS

"David Edwards’s direction and choreography are right and bright. "
-- Lee Adams, The Southampton Press
