Some of the comments made by people who have either seen The Return or heard it on CD:
WOW !! that was brilliant.
Last night was truly amazing!!! Well done.
The range of styles and the quality of the music had great appeal as it would have inspired all ages.
I thought it was probably the most powerful music/worship thing I've ever seen. It was fantastic and I'm so glad I was involved in it.
We all came to St Paul's last night. BRILLIANT! …We thought the story came over really powerfully - and the quality was excellent.
fantastic, fantastic Roger! Very well done - so enjoyed this evening.
Last night was wonderful, it really was. I am full of admiration for the concept, which itself was brilliant…the variety of musical moods was excellent, and most expressive. Quite simply, it was fantastic, I can't thank or congratulate you enough. It is a fantastic achievement.
Stunning…Possibly the best thing I have been to in a church…Like being in a Caribbean church…The styles of music, the use of different instruments to create the moods, the clothes - brilliant…Soloists, dance and flags all excellent.
We both enjoyed and appreciated your musical - the inspiration that went into it, the hard work, the musical and artistic resources that came together so well, and the powerful message that was very much at the forefront of it all.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be involved in something so spectacular. I just loved doing it. Also, it had quite an effect on Mother, who although a Christian, saw particularly the older daughter position in a new light, and was quite inspired by it. It touched me as well, and really helped to hit home the message of the Father's amazing love for us.
Thanks for the musical. All of us felt it was a really special occasion with the stamp of divine authority on the musical and the performance.
I know I felt God's presence there and came back feeling refreshed and uplifted.
I really felt the warmth of the Father's love.
I have already played the score through twice and I think it is fantastic.
Thank you. Just awesome. The story, the choir, the music. Heaven can't be much better. Loved it... played it [the CD] four times.
I received your CD and it sounds great. I love the combination of classical and pop instruments, not to mention the choir. It's very fresh.
I really enjoyed the video - I've watched it three times and each time I cried!
How can one find words to describe last night's "performance" - fantastic - excellent - totally relevant to today's society. I really enjoyed it and felt it speaking very much to me.
There was a great sense of anointing on the whole musical, and it was obvious that many were touched and challenged…we thank the Lord that 15 people accepted booklets and expressed a desire to know more about Jesus.
I loved it!
