	"Pinocchio Hunts Gold Eggs in Hit Production" Of all the Stageworld/Boardwalk children’s theatre shows from the Fick/Pieterse team in recent years, this production has to rate as one of the very best to date. A crisp storyline (60 minutes and easily understandable by the littlies at whom it is aimed), catchy songs, energetic dance routines, colourful costumes and props all add to the enjoyment, even by adults.(Bob Eveleigh: The Herald)
	"Holiday treat for youngsters with Three Billy Goats Gruff" The Boardwalk and Stageworld Easter and Christmas children�s theatre shows have become a tradition in the past five years, and Three Billy Goats Gruff maintains the quality parents and children have come to expect from these sources. This time David Fick has picked a lesser-known tale to tell in words, music, song and dance; but it works just as well as its many predecessors. (Bob Eveleigh: The Herald)
	"Seasons of Love... impressive" This was a curate's egg of a cabaret - impressively entertaining in parts.... It was a treat to experience the adult flowering of the promising talent we saw as performers Candice van Litsenborgh and David Fick were growing up. Annaline Stiglingh... has also gained a confident maturity. If the extracts from (Fick's own) Over the Rainbow (musical) were indicative of the overall high quality of this musical, let�s hear more of it! Well-written and thoughtful lyrics, good accompaniment - overall most impressive. (Susan Stead: The Herald)
	"Grease is Still the Word" One of the high points in Grease is the school dance - including two energetic numbers, the "High School Hop" and "Born to Hand Jive". While David Fick's choreography was impeccable throughout, it was this scene that stole the show and managed to showcase the impressive dancing abilities of the entire cast.... The care, detail and time taken in the snappy direction, the exciting choreography and excellent cast made Grease an amazing success, leaving the audience begging for more.

	"Adult guests prove to be a big hit in Showtime 2005" Of the trio, David is by far the most experienced. He was a fixture in the cast in the late 1990s, rising to principal level as arts journalist Barry Riter in the 1997 edition. He then made two guest appearances, notably impersonating Frank Sinatra and David Kramer in brilliant solo bits, before heading off to the University of Cape Town to study musical theatre in all its aspects. He graduated with his Masters last year and is now a fully rounded performer, show writer, songwriter, choreographer and director. (Bob Eveleigh: The Herald)
