    Management Reply to Review I am very happy to hear how wonderful the show was. In checking your account, Our Accounts Staff contacted your Accounts team on multiple times to obtain payment and we do offer a variety of ways to have the account paid. It is correct that you booked the event very close to the event date, which meant we had to arrange suitable flights and extra accommodation for our cast and crew to be able to service this event date, with little notice. In accepting the terms and conditions the due date was not paid on time and as a result, even after trying to remind you, the admin fees did apply. Had this been paid on time I am sure this unfortunate situation would not have occurred.

    Review the booking process and Iconic Performances.

    Despite the performance being excellent the accounts department were less than impressed with the process. We booked fairly last minute (2 weeks in advance) and the invoice was received two days before it was due. As a large school and company it is simply not that easy to process them that quickly. It is pretty poor that we were charged an extra fee given there was so little time given from your end to organise payment.

    We really enjoyed the show but the sound was a little loud. The fantastic convict was very good but due to his accent the children had trouble understanding some of his dialogue at the beginning of the show. Our students have very little exposure to live shows so this was perfect for them.Maybe rehearsing it with them a little more would have helped. Please know that we are very happy with the interaction and the way you dealt with the flogging. Thank you for your professional approach. Sincerely, Mrs McKay

    Really brought the content to life for the students.

    The Show and Event

    The show really delivered on its promise of being 'interactive'. The students were up and down to the stage area and the actors were up in the audience! Almost every student had the opportunity to participate in some way.

    The Audience

    The students loved the show and are still talking about it today! Their own words to describe it were 'surprising', 'alive', 'captivating', 'unpredictable' and 'entertaining'. I think it will stay in their minds for a long time to come!

    Review the booking process and Iconic Performances.

    My only negative: It would be nice to have one contact person right from the beginning. Each time that I emailed, I was dealt with by a different event manager. It would be nice to have an email address and contact number for one person throughout the whole process.

    Educational Value

    I always appreciate the historical accuracy of the shows.

    The Show and Event

    We two teachers thought it was an excellent idea to get the classes marching around while the scene change was undertaken. It's certainly better than having them sit the whole time.

    The Audience

    Some of the children questioned whether the marines were as harsh as the show made them seem, so the production seemed to stimulate their curiosity beyond what we have read and discussed in class. I did intend to ask the class further what they thought, but did not have time for such a discussion today.

    Review the booking process and Iconic Performances.

    Thank you for taking note of my previous comments, where I have suggested that the content was sometimes a little too bawdy for this age group. I felt that, this year, the production was not inappropriate at any time.

    The students were very enthusiastic to join in and enjoyed joining in immensely.

    The Audience

    The convict was funny and the sergeant was very loud and cranky! The students all enjoyed the show and could relate to many aspects of the performance considering the curriculum they have been taught already and are able to recall things from the performance for things they are learning after the performance.

    -Words for the songs should have been displayed for the students to follow and participate -Irish Jig, there isn't an opportunity withing the school day to be able to learn it, it is not part of the curriculum. -Heads up about the water being thrown over students. The amount of water used was far too much. We suggest a spray bottle or a bucket of paper for effect.

    Educational Value

    The Colonial Experience was a great interactive resource for getting the children to really see the harshness of the convict era. There was no "romanticising" of the convict experience, and the show was realistic in its portrayal of the times. The educational value is sufficient that we fully intend to book the Colonial Experience again.

    The Show and Event

    It was good to see that audience engagement was high - more so than last year's show.

    The Audience

    As the show was on Friday, I have not had the opportunity to follow it up with the children yet. There will be time for discussion in class on Monday.

    Review the booking process and Iconic Performances.

    All round, it was an excellent production, and the fact that the actors and production team have been working to improve it since last year, was evident. While we understand that the use of music was designed to enhance the experience, there were a few times when it was difficult to hear the characters over the music. Thus, some of the impact was lost. By the way, this survey has two spelling mistakes - "relevent" instead of "relevant" on the first page, and "borring" instead of "boring" on the second page.
