REVIEWS
" ... Double act Graham Hoadly as Bert and Shirley Jameson as Maggie are a scream. They seem to have a genuine rapport and steal the show in their scenes ... "
Review by Katharine Capocci (2007)
" ... Other standouts are Shirley Jameson as musical writer Maggie Jones whose “Keep Young and Beautiful” with Graham Hoadly’s producer Bert Barry is just one of the high spots of Act1 ... "
Clive Fuller, contributor www.bbc.co.uk
" ... We watch the boys and the girls of the chorus preparing the show Pretty Lady, encouraged by older members of the company like well-upholstered songwriter Maggie (Shirley Jameson) and fellow songwriter, Bert (a beautifully bald Graham Hoadly) ... "
Philip Key, Liverpool Daily Post
" ... The character roles of Maggie Jones and Bert Barry were expertly handled by Shirley Jameson and Graham Hoadly ... Hoadly pulled off his character with class, walking the loveable flirt/lecherous old man line to perfection ... "
Rin Simpson, Western Mail
Graham Hoadly and Shirley Jameson as Bert and writing partner Maggie support humorously.
