"Alex Woodward was a handsome hero and handled the top tenor notes with ease along the way milking every laugh"

"Woodward was perfect as the clean cut all American boy next door, easy on the eye and capturing you as he peels away his emotions from desensitisation to compassion and love. There is no doubt there would be many wishing they were in Rose’s shoes."

“Alex Woodward is a stand out, mastering his role as Frederic”
— Queensland Times
