REVIEWS

From The Malta Sunday Times:

"Law Business As Show Business"

"FM Theatre Productions have pulled it off. Their Production of Chicago (Manoel) is vibrant, the singing is as good as the acting, and it is beautifully designed and lit."

-Paul Xuereb


From The Malta Times Weekender:

"Dazzling Justice"

"So soon after the film's projection of the musical on our screens, even a humble and fallible critic's desire to remain 'fresh' and unbiased is susceptible to the temptation of making comparisons. How did Isabel Warrington, Pia Zammit and Edward Mercieca fare beside Catherine Zeta Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere? The question has to be asked [...] And the answer can safely be revealed: they were 100 times better. [...] The gold and silver curtain at the end was spectacularly beautiful as was the Roxie sign. Praise to the ostrich feather fans[...]."

-Norbert Ellul-Vincenti
