“…Edwards, was riveting, stirring and strong.”

“Stiff competition for them was the Sky Masterson of Mark Edwards and the Sarah Brown of Sarah Talbot. Writing this an hour and a half after the curtain came down I can vaguely remember thinking I wouldn't like Talbot as Sarah. She seemed too sturdy to be convincing in the role. By Scene 8, in Havana, I knew I'd been wrong. She was ideal and she was great. I felt something akin to this with Edwards first entrance but he, a tenor in a baritone role, won me over sooner. In the second act they both became extraordinary. ‘Luck Be a Lady Tonight’ sung by Edwards, was riveting, stirring and strong. ‘Marry the Man Today,’ which Talbot shared with Cimma, was a comic highpoint and still managed to be sensitive and moving.”
