Nerds

“This techy tour-de-force is beautifully directed by Nick Winston”

BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE ★★★★★

“Nick Winston’s direction is razor sharp and his choreography is every bit as witty as the script.”

MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEW ★★★★★

“Under the direction of Nick Winston, characters resemble the geeks from TV series The IT Crowd. To a lesser degree, it is about self-acceptance from those deemed oddballs by their school bullies, mainly through the character of Gates. Jobs is, by contrast, a visionary hippy and self-serving ladies’ man whose charisma Gates envies. Both are ridiculed and brilliantly performed.”

THE GUARDIAN ★★★★

“The choreography is slick and playful, perfectly complementing the fast-paced narrative.”

THEATRE WEEKLY ★★★★★

“Nick Winston directs and choreographs with a clear eye for chaos, in the best way possible. There’s a kind of glorious mayhem to it all. In fact, the physical humour is some of the best I’ve seen this year, and Winston knows exactly how far to push each gag for maximum payoff.”

ELEMENTAL ★★★★★

“Nick Winston’s directing and choreography are a triumph. Each scene and song are visual delights.”

FAIRY POWERED ★★★★★

“Expertly directed by Nick Winston, Nerds races from scene to scene with costume changes and props flowing in number rarely seen in a fringe production.”

LISA IN THE THEATRE ★★★★★

“Bravo to Director Nick Winston for getting the most from every moment through a mix of clever blocking, energetic choreography, and above all, pace.”

THE QR ★★★★★

“Direction and choreography by Nick Winston is clever, using the small space extremely well and is performed excellently by the talented cast. Any musical theatre nerds will also love the irony of the “ensemble guy’s” curtain call costume.”

MUSICAL MANDA ★★★★★

“Under the direction of Nick Winston, the zaniness does not become tiresome, and the story moves rapidly through a brief history of Jobs and Gates”
