Cinderella 2012

"Musical director Phil Gostelow’s ridiculously infectious score" - The Stage

"The music (written and directed by Phil Gostelow with lyrics by the show's writer, Clifford Oliver) was a real highlight - channeling the spirit of Lionel Bart in amongst the diaspora of the old East End in which he grew up" – Broadway World

"...Indeed the music is an undoubted strength of the production – a succession of singable, melodic numbers embracing a variety of genres: chirpy Tommy Steelery for our pearly Buttons in 'A Little Bit of Mischief', Lionel Bart like for 'If I Was A Lady', Lloyd Webber for the dry-ice love duet and a cheeky nod to David Rose and his 'Stripper' for the Clenchbutt sisters and their raunchy fashion parade" – The Public Reviews

Aladdin 2013

“...and Phil Gostelow is a wizard on the keys...” – The Stage

“...the clever musical accompaniment from Phil Gostelow, keyboards” – Bury Mercury
