Operation Julie: Ymateb Cynulleidfaoedd

An audience knows what it is doing. If it stands in a collective expression of uninhibited joy, it is a response that happens for a reason. The company has made it happen.

Operation Julie is taking Wales by storm!

With its impish relish for human paradox – folly and idealism in equal measure – its layered narrative, its subversive humour, its adoring musical tribute to prog-rock pioneers of an era, Operation Julie is the blast of summer performance exhilaration that theatre in Wales need and its audience deserves.

Not to be missed!

On one hand, it is a rip-roaring, comic tale of a police operation in a time before the internet and mobile phones hampered by sheep nibbling through communication cables and detectives unconvincingly disguised as birdwatchers. But on the other, it seeks to tell the story of a bunch of idealists deeply worried about the state of the planet who believed that taking LSD would help the human race see a path to a better, more sustainable way of living.

Well, Operation Julie was just a joy last night. Thought provoking gig theatre that got me bouncing all the way down Penglais Hill!

Cewch i weld y sioe yma! Mae’n gymaint o sbort. Miwsig gwych, canu da, lot o chwerthin a stwff difrifol hefyd. A mae actorion amazing yn actio mam a dad. Llongyfarchiadau Geinor Styles a Theatr na nÓg am sioe penigamp!

Roedd Operation Julie yn hollol BRILLIANT heno. Diolch Theatr na nÓg am noson wych a llongyfarchiadau enfawr i’r tîm a’r actorion! Gymaint o dalent ar un llwyfan! Os ydych chi yn Aber (neu’r ardal) EWCH I WELD HWN! Just WAW!

If you get the chance, GO AND SEE OPERATION JULIE!!! Absoliwtli anhygoel o sioe. Chwerthin, crio, cast anhygoel. Possibly the best production I’ve ever seen.

I implore everyone see Operation Julie with Theatr na nÓg, oh my god, please please please, it’s amazing!! You will not be disappointed!!

Wow! Operation Julie yn anhygoel - wedi cael trip theatrig a hanner neithiwr. Blown away by Carl Davies’s set and Greg Palmer’s musical arrangements and the whole cast’s performances. Llongyfarchiadau enfawr Geinor Styles a phawb! Wow!

Waw noson agoriadol wych i Operation Julie. Great opening night! Pawb ar ei traed/standing ovations! Da iawn Theatr na nÓg, Geinor Styles, cast and crew.

An incredible story, superbly written by Geinor Styles and brought to life by an extremely talented cast of actors and musicians. 70s rock, peace, love and acid. What more could you want from a night out?

I saw you guys on opening night in Aberystwyth, then again on the 6th August (well, I just had too!). I swear down, it is the best show I have seen in a long, long time, possibly ever! I had no idea what to expect and you didn't disappoint. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for a truly magnificent show and hope to see this go from strength to strength. Mind-blowing performance! Thank you so much for putting this together.

Last night was a spectacular evening for the opening night of Operation Julie. The musical was phenomenal to say the least and it brought back a lot of memories of growing up during this era.

What a gloriously refreshing, anarchic show this is! Well done Theatr na nÓg. Loved it so much I'm going to see it again tomorrow.

Wel, am Sioe Gerdd gwych! Stori wir, sgript arbennig, perfformiadau heb eu ail. Cyfarwyddo slic a chaboledig. Bydd perfformiadau ychwanegol yn Aberhonddu a Chaerfyrddin. Cewch i weld e!!! Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi gyd am noson fythgofiadwy a phwerus. BRAVO!!!

...a fantastic night of theatre that I won't forget in a hurry. This prog rock play with song...is, in my humble opinion, pretty groovy.

I put this on here as a "heads up" because it is one of the best shows I've ever seen and it's coming to Theatr Brycheiniog at the end of August. I'm no thespian, but this is an incredible show. I didn't expect such brilliant script, music, singing, acting, comedy and staging. I strongly recommend it. Yep, we're going again, hope to see you there.

Fantastic show! Hollol wych! Music was superb! #OperationJulie #Aberystwythartscentre

Sioe anhygoel heno gyda @theatrnanog yn @aberystwytharts / Absolutely amazing summer show by @theatrnanog #OperationJulie - Y sioe orau fi di gweld / The best one yet

We saw Operation Julie in Brecon last night and loved it so much I feel compelled to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. It really was fantastic, so full of energy and brilliant music, with a wonderful connection to the audience. I’m still smiling at the memory of it. This is what live theatre should be all about. Well done and thank you!

#OperationJulie is 70s sitcom meets 70s psychedelic concert! See it for the music alone, but a sitcom about a real LSD lab in Tregaron is genius. A show that can pull off a stonking rendition of Purple Haze as an encore is a must see! Fantastic cast & production!

#operationjulie WAW!!! Wedi cal fy swyno gan y hanes chwedlonol hon ers yn groten… sioe hollol bendigedig.
Charmed by the legendary story since I was a little girl and this rock musical did NOT disappoint
