“Georgina Purdie also perfectly portrayed the fame-hungry Pauline Fleming and her actions during her song ‘Shine On’ was comical. Purdie also showed her versatility as Veronica’s Mum.”
Elodie Boal - Theatre Haus
“Sondheim is no easy task and the cast nailed their entrances and exits in songs. Their timing was impeccable and had obviously been rehearsed to perfection… Georgina Purdie and Erika Tucker also gave strong performances throughout the production. Whether their role was large or small, everyone was committed in their performance and brought many beloved and sometimes dark fairytales to life.”
Louella Baldwin - Theatre Haus
“Georgina Purdie makes a wonderful Fairy Godmother in her red sequins and satin. She is a modern feminist mentor – urging Cinderella to take control and make things happen.”
