Audience Testimonials

Cast

"1816 is a musical that cannot easily be herded into a single genre. It can make you cry, laugh, and think, and you will never at any point be able to predict which emotion is invoked next. A balance is nonetheless masterfully found through the combination of a multifaceted story with masterful songwriting."

"A superb production, with outstanding performances by the 5 actors, a sharp and quickfire script, and above all a wonderful set of emotional, complex songs that pushed the plot along wonderfully."

"Incredibly fresh premise, an engaging plot with some very relatable themes and a brilliantly handpicked cast. This musical does the very important job of nurturing one’s curiosity — about the Romantics, literature at large or, as the characters remind us, why we create."

"Stunning production with beautifully arranged songs."
"The perfect balance of tension, humour and emotion."

"A romantic and well-balanced score with multiple-part harmonies, accompanied by piano and cellos, beautifully setting the scene for the drama unfolding on stage."

"I was captivated the whole time and my jaw was on the floor more times than one, both from the twisty story and the stunning vocals and acting."

"The songs are beautifully written with magical harmonies connecting a different range of voices in one whole story."

"Brings a side of the story never seen before - beautifully and masterfully written: turning out to be one of my favorite musicals!"

"With a musical score and dialogue that have the power to display anger, humour, frustration, this fast paced, beautifully constructed and performed musical draws you in and has all the dramatic elements of musical theatre at its best."
