Reviews and Recognition

“The Zodiac Amateur Operatic Society were originally meant to perform Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in March 2020, but were forced to cancel due to the national lockdown. Three years later and they have brought this musical comedy to the Frodsham stage…Overall, this production was laugh-out-loud, with strong leads and clever staging. It was definitely worth the three year wait!” – NODA

★★★★ “If we ever needed a reminder of just how much the world of theatre was tipped on it’s head by Covid, then the fact that it’s taken three years for Zodiac’s production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels to reach the milestone of opening night will do just that… there’s no swindle here – Zodiac haven’t missed a trick in delivering a solid, comic show that will have you rooting for the ‘bad’ guys.” – Anna Durham, North West End
