From The Producer

In our continuing aim to provide that ‘Feel Good Feeling’ to theatres up an down the country, we have searched far and wide to find 5 guys who together could re-produce the fantastic harmonies that the Beach Boys made their own. I hope, you’ll agree with me that it is was well worth the wait. The show consists of around 38 of the most well known songs so you’re never too far from a hit. With the songs being arranged and the dances being learnt, we set to work finding the biggest prop we’ve ever used. No Beach Boys show should be without... an 8 foot surf board, of course. So, when the show was rehearsed at a local theatre, we were grateful to the Manager who came up with the line “5 guys, a live band and a surf board”.
 
There are a few people that I must extend enormous thanks to: Pierce Tee, our musical director who has written all the musical and vocal arrangements and in doing so has managed to retain the essence of the original sound whilst using the latest technology to provide a contemporary edge. Carole Todd, our stage director who has the patience of a saint! Carole devised and directed the visual interpretation of the music for our live show. Whilst, undoubtedly taking a few liberties along the way in relation to reproducing an original Beach Boys concert, what Carole has created is truly entertaining.

Of course, I must also thank our very talented cast Trevor, Alex, Ben, Stuart and Sid together with our great band of musicians for all their input which has been well above the call of duty. Also my thanks to our vital support team which includes Trevor Kaye (Production manager), Matt Boyles (Technical manager), Steve Webber (Press & Promotions Manager) and Linda Brian (Financial controller). Finally, I must really thank my wife, Cheryl, and my children for their continuing support. I don’t know how many times they have been forced to listen to the Beach Boys music, but like me they never seem to tire of listening to our re-creation of the iconic sound of The Beach Boys.

Please browse around this site and feel free to email me with any comments or suggestions. I hope we will meet at one of our shows.
