“The best show! Cast amazing, singing absolutely fantastic! The whole production stunning!”
“Brilliant show! Not only obviously so topical at the moment but it was fun, moving and professional as always. Congratulations to everyone involved! “
“What a fantastic performance. All the cast, orchestra & off stage crew deserve great credit. Magnificent to see a big audience”
“Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant, what a cast, what a show!”
“After a number of years away from musical theatre, I joined MAODS in 2019/20 for their production of ‘Grease’. We were then hit by the global pandemic, but returned in 2022/23 with ‘Made in Dagenham’ where I was cast in the role of ‘Mr Tooley’.
MAODS is a collection of diverse performers and creatives with a passion for musical theatre. It is always a real pleasure to share the stage with such a talented (and friendly) group of people.
A warm welcome awaits any new member, and I encourage those who may be thinking of joining to give it a go. My only regret is not joining MAODS sooner!”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of MAODS for the past 10 years! My first show was ‘Beauty and the Beast’ which was incredibly magical, a magic that has continued ever since! MAODS feels like a family, a place I have met some of my best friends.
I have appeared in many productions over the years, including ‘Annie’ and ‘The Sound of Music’, however playing a principal role in ‘Grease’ in 2020 was one of the highlights and one I will never forget.
I am honoured to be back this year playing ‘Beryl’ in ‘Made in Dagenham’. alongside an incredible cast.
MAODS is home from home and long may it continue.”
“I was welcomed into MAODS with open arms from the moment I joined 6 years ago, and it’s felt like home ever since. Playing ‘Doralee’ in ‘9 to 5’ was a huge highlight in my first year, and I was lucky enough to be hired as the choreographer for ‘The Sound of Music’ and ‘Grease’.
The pandemic sadly brought a pause to live theatre, so I couldn’t be happier or more grateful to be given to opportunity to Direct & Choreograph ‘Made In Dagenham’.
Thank you MAODS for allowing me to do what I love, sharing one of the best experiences of my life with the best bunch of people.”
