Success!
Potted Reviews "Great
writers of stage music have always proved themselves to be versatile. In the
light of the favourable reaction it received it would have been more than easy
for Taylor to follow Wuthering Heights with another show in that same grand
scale, but instead he quickly showed his credentials by heading in a totally
different direction and in doing so comes up with another admirable piece of
work. "Success!" is full of splendid material and is loads of
fun." - Mike Gibb, Masquerade, "An adaptation of the Faust legend, I enjoyed this one very much, and it has some bright, breezy and catchy numbers. I will be surprised if anyone who buys it is disappointed with the standard of the songs." - Terry Wardrope, Words and Music, Issue 17, January 1994. "Taylor's score has several attractive songs . . . They're all sung as if they are the hottest songs to come from the West End." - Show Music, USA, autumn 1993 edition. "The whole show is firmly tongue-in-cheek, with a fair amount of parody, and is great fun. It has a contemporary score, very different from Wuthering Heights, with some fantastic jazzy numbers. I loved every second of it." - CD, Beneath the Mask, Summer, 1994. |
