It has been a tremendous asset for our group and we look forward to another great season with "Yeomen of the Guard"." (CF, Canada)
"Firstly a big thank you for "The Mikado" rehearsal files. Pish Tush was my first ever G&S principal part and the midi files were used daily in my preparation. As a result I was able to more than hold my own in a highly successful production in May. I must have been ok as I've now been asked to play Mr.Cox in "Cox and Box"! ... Many thanks for your help." (ND, United Kingdom)
"I want to thank you again for the previous recording of The Mikado which we performed to a near-packed house for the 6-night run this year.

"Thanks for the Mikado files. The set I got from you last year was a terrific help to me in preparing for The Sorcerer ... Here's how I used your files: First of all, I have kids. This means that I spend a lot of time in the car, shuttling them between activities. So, I made a CD of my parts [ which is easily done using a program such as Midi2Wav Recorder ] and played it in the car whenever I found myself presented with a practice opportunity ... The result was that I was able to memorize my part and have it down cold before we began staging the show, and I was able to continuously refresh my memory throughout all the staging and dancing sessions. By the time opening night came along, the music was second nature to me, which allowed me to relax, and focus almost entirely on stage presence. I'm very pleased to have discovered your service, and will probably continue with annual contacts for as long as I'm involved in G&S productions". (M.W., Ottawa, Canada)
