Reviews

  • "Hastings is excellent throughout, with impeccable comic timing and impressive musical skills."

    — The Stage on United Queendom

  • "James Hastings is excellent as Andrea, managing to convey emotion from his sick bed out into the auditorium, and playing the violin superbly."

    — British Theatre on Ladies in Lavender

  • "James Hastings... has a superb singing voice which contrasted somewhat with his easy manner and was an impressive surprise."

    — Farnham Herald on Snow White

  • Today's extraordinary cast at @RoyalAcadMusic was led by the ravishingly voiced duo of Jade Oswald and Abi Hudson as the mother and daughter, with James Hastings as Fabrizio also making a major impression. These are all stars in the making."

    — Mark Shenton on Light In The Piazza

  • "We met characters like Jack and Jill, played by James Hastings and Aimee Cupper, whose singing made many speechless. There was a particular buzz over Mr Hastings' song, I Need a Hero, which we imagine hit ranges only a few male singers can reach."

    — Worcester News on Jack And The Beanstalk

  • "Keith [James Hastings] really stole the show for us... His voice is strong and faultless but our favourite thing was the laughs. Keith had us laughing out loud in every scene. His jokes and slapstick mannerisms all came so naturally to him. He is hilarious – and the children loved him!"

    — What The Red Head Said on Snow White

  • "Yoshi (James Hastings) and Toad (Sam McCallum)... prove to be dependable sources of huge laughs, and very much keep the fun alive throughout the show."

    — Musical Theatre Review on Mario: A Super Musical

  • "Bravo! Cast & creative team #LightinthePiazza @RoyalAcadMusic... Beautiful performances from James Hastings and Abigail Hudson."

    — Sondheim Society on Light In The Piazza

  • "Superbly charming, funny, goofy and charismatic."

    — Muddy Stilettos on Snow White

  • "Senesino, the renowned court musician and composer will play virtuoso violin and, later, you will hear his beautiful counter tenor as he sings an aria that echoes and floats down the King’s staircase. James Hastings plays him with such sublime talent, and such wonderful theatricality, that you won’t want the music to stop."

    — Spy in the Stalls on United Queendom

  • "The cast of 5 are incredibly talented with newcomer James Hastings really shining as he glides effortlessly between a number of instruments."

    — Pocket Size Theatre on The Trench
