Revenge – For the Count of Monte Cristo

The music was AMAZING! I wish I had it on a CD! Infact, I wish I had 1000 CDs, it was so good!

What a great show, music and vocals were fab, what a rock Opera it is!!! Sword fights were fab and costumes were just great!

Fast paced, fun reimagining of the classic tale, with a confident, talented and enthusiastic young cast. Our entire group enjoyed the show - thanks for a great evening's entertainment!

Truly awesome show! Great music, fantastic drama and fast paced storytelling. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance. 10/10 would watch again!

Great rock opera with really good voices, emotion-laden, good sword fights - what more can one want?

Really tight ensemble cast with a well abridged version of the story and a nicely paced build to a moving climax. Thoroughly enjoyable entertainment!

First comment:
A cast list needs to be much more obvious for this production as the cast needs recognition for their hard work. I only managed to find the cast names after a staff member directed me to a QR code.

On the show:
The show is a short whirlwind of emotion, intensity, anger, and of course, REVENGE

The music is excellent, the lyricism especially is powerful and doesn't pull any punches with showcasing characters emotions.

The standard of singing was very high across the board. Particular mention must go to the lead of the Count, Lewis Carlyon. The Count operates at a high intensity throughout and maintains high energy whilst singing powerful rock Opera

Shannon Daly plays a convincing performance with power music theatre vocals

A highlight of the show is the sword fights at the end with Oliver Dir, Carlyon and Ross Jamieson

All performed with good singing too

I was impressed with this show.

Loved it! Full of energy and great storytelling.

Excellent performances. Lead was outstanding

Great vocal performances and an enjoyable show!

I loved this musical. It had a great rock opera vibe and the songs were excellent. The cast were all fantastic. I loved Lewis Carylon’s performance as Edmund and Ross Jamieson was brilliant too. Shannon Daly has an amazing voice and what a range! I would recommend this to all musical theatre lovers. Great direction too.

This show was out my usual comfort zone being a rock opera but it drew me in and I enjoyed it. The cast all had amazing voices. Would recommend

A great version of the essence of Dumas' book, fresh and gripping plus a musical score working surprisingly well with a more than 175 years old story. This and the utterly amazing cast definitely deserve a fully booked venue. Five stars from us.

This was a brilliant performance put on by a talented passionate group of performers. They highlighted all the best parts with such enthusiasm, it sucks you right in! A must see show!

Visited "Revenge" last night and wasn't disappointed . What a highly talented ensemble telling the tale of "The Count of Monte Christo". In essence it cuts straight to the chase being the second part of the novel - after "The Count" has escaped the Chateau D'If and is exacting his "revenge". A talented young cast sing their way through the tale as a rock opera and it works. Everyone is in great voice and display fantastic acting chops. Without spoilers there's a well choreographed fight seen too. Something for everyone here. You will not be disappointed.

Incredibly impressive singing and acting from the entire cast! I was unfamiliar with The Count of Monte Cristo before watching this show, but the story was told so compellingly that I now want to read the book it's based on!

EXCELLENT - This was an excellent show, with great acting and strong singing by a very talented cast. Lewis Carlyon played the lead role brilliantly and was supported by a great cast. Highly recommended.

Just like it’s sister show Ripper, this was a really enjoyable hour spent with a very enthusiastic and talented cast handling the great story of Edmond Dantes’revenge with real believability
Great music, singing and storytelling and a definite one to add to your Fringe list. Excellent.

Absolutely fabulous show, the whole cast were fantastic especially Lewis (lead role)!

Great acting, beautiful voices, rock opera style, ingredients that offer you a unique experience! Well done!

Outstanding performance from the whole cast! As a first fringe experience this show was incredible.
Lewis Carlyon lead the cast excellently and his outstanding performance told the story perfectly! A full show in song is a challenge but this cast made it look easy!
Will definitely be going to another reconnect regal theatre performance soon!!

Exceĺlent. Definitely worth a visit. Very professional performance in a very intimate venue.

Really enjoyed this show - you quickly get into the whole Rock Opera style and the characters were played with real conviction. Would definitely recommend!

a wonderful show, the venue is in a convenient location as it is close to Princes St, but is a bit hidden away. A gem of a location - fairly priced drinks and polite service

I very much enjoyed Revenge, the show was entirely sung through and there wasn't a missed note in the whole production

A special part of the show is the ending sword fighting scene with the count and his nemesis fernando the movement was extremely clean and im very impressed with the two gentleman managing to sing so highly and clearly while doing an intense fight

4 stars from me, with a fuller set the show would receive 5

An amazing show, with incredible music. Definitely worth a visit! Standout performances from Ross Jamieson playing the villainous Fernand with outstanding vocals, and Lewis Carlyon leading the cast with a mighty stage presence.
