Review by Corri

Smike, the album by Simon May Roger Holman Ashville College Dramatic Society, is a stunning collection of tracks that captures the essence of the classic musical "Nicholas Nickleby". The album features an impressive array of talented performers who bring the story to life through their powerful vocals and emotive performances.

From the opening track, "The Smike Shuffle", listeners are transported to the world of Nicholas Nickleby and his journey to save Smike from a life of misery. The catchy melodies and upbeat rhythms of this track set the tone for the rest of the album, which features a mix of upbeat and poignant songs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dotheboys Hall", which showcases the impressive vocal range and emotional depth of the performers. The haunting melody and poignant lyrics of this track stay with listeners long after the song has ended.
