“Strong comic timing and believability from Golde, Melanie La Barrie bringing a good rapport with her onstage husband.”
★★★★★ North West End
“The whole cast is brilliant but Melanie La Barrie as Golde, Tevye’s world-weary wife, and Dean Nolan as Motel, the diffident but utterly charming tailor, also deserve a special mention – Nolan’s a big guy but he can’t half throw himself around the stage! Pauline Daniels as matchmaker Yente is also a delight to watch.”
★★★★★ Good News Liverpool
“There are a host of delightful performances, including Dean Nolan’s eager tailor Motel, Melanie La Barrie as Tevye’s long-suffering wife Golde, and newcomer Emily Hughes as Hodel.”
★★★★ Liverpool Echo
Melanie as Betts in The Story Giant
“Melanie La Barrie excels once again as the bright and eccentric American 11-year old, Betts. We last saw her in a flawless portrayal of tired old housewife and mother-of-five Golde in Fiddler on the Roof, and her ability to embody a wholly convincing and loveable character, who just happens to be 50 years younger than her last role, is just as apparent in her baby pink pyjamas and unicorn slippers” ★★★★★ The Reviews Hub
