The Passion of Saint Nicholas

The Passion of Saint Nicholas

    

The Passion of Saint Nicholas is an insight into growing up as one of seven children and the concept of the golden child. In Geraldine Quinn's case her brother Nick was that golden child, and this show is about him. 

With musical numbers filled with witty and incredibly polished lyrics, Quinn is a dynamic and powerful storyteller. This is also aided by her KILLER vocals and dramatic facial expressions, especially during "I'm in the little choir cause I'm better than you"-a massive highlight of the night. 

The show concludes with a finale centred around grief and appreciating the nice things in life and how lucky we are that they existed at all. This is a direct connection to Quinn's memories with her brother, and results in not one dry eye in the house. 

Closing this Sunday, The Passion of Saint Nicholas is an incredible and moving experience that is not worth missing!
