I've been consistently impressed by A Stage Kindly's interpretations of my songs, as well as the calibre of talent they've found in the other writers.  I'm always eager to hear each new crop of songs because my expectations have become so high. - Michael Gordon Shapiro, America

 

Working with A Stage Kindly's Katy and Giles was a great pleasure for us; not only because they're very good in organizing, casting and performing brilliant shows, but also because of their being excellent authors and performers themselves. And that means they can understand the needs of their fellow writers, above all taking care of the artistic quality of their shows. - Anna Hurkmans and Raffaele Paglione, Rome, Italy

 

Dave and I very much appreciate being included and taking part in BRAVO... A Stage Kindly is serving an important role that every creator of musical theater needs. The production of new works is crucial in the development of music and lyrics for the creators to see: firstly, how someone else envisions their work; secondly, how the work was received. A Stage Kindly manages to combine the development and the reception to that development in one evening of performances... Farley and Brush say "Bravo" to A Stage Kindly and hope to be included in future productions! - Jim Farley, host and producer of MusicalTalk, and American radio show dedicated to Musical Theatre.

 

It's been a joy having my songs presented by A STAGE KINDLY, where people I've sent always send me rapturous reports. I fervently hope to see you all in person some day. Love, Michael Colby (NJ, USA)

 

A Stage Kindly is one of the few production companies that give unknown musical composers and lyricists the rare opportunity of having their songs performed on London stages. I have been extremely satisfied with the way my songs have been presented in the well-received (and critically acclaimed) revues, which have often been viewed by representatives of theatre organizations which could take my work to a higher level. In addition, A Stage Kindly has professionally produced recordings of the songs from the revues (both live and studio) on its website as well as videos. I highly recommend A Stage Kindly for all aspiring musical composers and lyricists--your work is truly brought to the attention of the public. - Dave Reiser, USA

 

Great stuff! Great performance. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to helping new shows. May all your current projects be a great success.  All the best with your upcoming projects and thanks again for your support. - Darryl Chute, writer, Australia

 

What A STAGE KINDLY is doing is vitally important to the development of the musical theatre artform. Hundreds and hundreds of writers - good writers - might never have their work see the light of day were it not for programs like this one. I only wish more cities and more artists were doing what A STAGE KINDLY is doing so well. - David Brush, librettist/lyricist and Artistic Director of Encore Theater Company, USA.

 

 

A Stage Kindly provides a truly unique, and much needed, platform for Music Theatre writers and composers to be heard and seen in excellent settings and with highly professional presentation.  Katy and Giles are most accomplished performers, composers and teachers themselves, with a wealth of experience. They are devoted to their art and work, and I am thankful to be associated with this vibrant energy. I wish A Stage Kindly every success. - Tony Osbourne, UK.

 

A Stage Kindly does a fantastic job for new musical theatre writing by providing opportunities for new work to be presented to an audience - something that is very difficult for emerging writers to achieve in the UK. When I've been lucky enough to have songs from some of my musicals performed by A Stage Kindly, Giles and Katy have always been highly professional in their approach and a pleasure to deal with - and the calibre of the vocalists who have performed the songs has been outstanding. - Robert Gould, UK

 

I am very excited that A Stage Kindly has been so supportive in presenting  the song "Be There"  that  I've written with Michael Colby. - Steven Silverstein,  NYC, USA

 

We were thrilled to have our song, 'The Clock Slows Down' performed not once but twice in 'A Stage Kindly' reviews. Both interpretations were different, and each brought the song to life in its own way. We wish Giles and Katy every success in the future and look froward to a long association with them. - Jonathan Posner, Librettist / Lyricist, UK

 

Katy and Giles chose 'Still human where it counts' from 'Rock Heaven', even though it was not fully arranged yet. I would not have dared to suggest that particular song, but they found it on the CD, liked it a lot, sorted it out and then delivered a really well received performance. That's skill and commitment for you!  - Nigel Osner, UK

 

Katy and Giles both belong to that rare breed of people who are creative, supportive and enthusiastic while at the same time being efficient, well-organized and excellent at business communication. It's a winning combination that makes A Stage Kindly a delight to work with. - Mike Hallett, Librettist, UK

It's a fun and fascinating experience to see how A Stage Kindly serves up my very American show tunes for a British audience.  Can it be coincidence that, during the same time period, my works appeared in four other English venues?  I'm tempted to call it A Stage Kindling - Noel Katz
