Carousel
You would have hardly expected to find one of the year's finest amateur performances in an extremely small production of a Broadway giant… Down in the pit, musical director Andrew Griffiths is also doing some outstanding work as he makes a band of just five do the work of a much bigger team. (Sheffield Star, November 2007)
Grand Hotel
An engrossing and thought-provoking production that had class, excellent performances and an ensemble unity that was always impressive… In his adjudication David Turner… liked the tight direction, the dance sequences, the musical direction, the relentless score… (Munster Express, September 2007)
Sweeney Todd
…some outstanding musical direction from Andrew Griffiths at the head of a small but effective ensemble of just six musicians. (Sheffield Star, May 2007)
It was extremely courageous of Sheffield Teachers to even consider mounting Sondheim’s musical thriller and they succeeded brilliantly… [The] conductor – young Andrew Griffiths who clearly knows his Sondheim – [was] admirable. (Sheffield Telegraph, May 2007)
