Reviews of The Happy Prince

"What a beautiful performance, incredibly moving in places and brilliantly funny in others. The company managed to tell human stories in a truly enjoyable way with clever choreography and inspired music choices. I loved it!" (Nicola Gilroy, BBC Radio Lincolnshire, The Nicola Gilroy Show)


"A wonderful show packed with creativity, artistry and humour that is so captivating. Great choice of music, I loved it." (Cllr Ian Selby, Mayor of Grantham)

"A  wonderfully diverse evening of dance by a relatively new ensemble, the Chantry Dance's last evening of The Happy Prince tour at Sadler's Wells was engaging." (Clare Hannan, former Duty Manager, Theatre Royal Drury Lane)

"If you can, go and see a performance. Moves you to tears one moment and the next laughter. Just amazing." (Julie Atkinson, audience member)

"It was AMAZING! I urge anyone who thought Dance or Ballet 'wasn't for them'  to go see it. Inspirational." (Laura Bayston, audience member)
"I went to see The Happy Prince...and it was absolutely amazing! It was so captivating and I loved the choreography and story lines. I recommend everyone to go and see it! Well done Chantry." (Evie Deacon, audience member)
