“When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them.” ― Marilyn Monroe
Lennie Small (Cheyne Fynn) and George Milton (Andy Madden), Madden and Fynn do an excellent job bringing these characters to life. The relationship between the characters feels genuine on the stage and Madden does a great job at portraying George’s love for Lennie. Furthermore, for a role that can could have come off as trite and contrived, Fynn does an excellent job portraying Lennie while juxtaposing the character’s mental limitations with his enormous heart. – Chris Kostakis @ Same Same
Cheyne Fynn is near-brilliant as Lennie, having invented a studied physical demeanour and mode of speech. His studies at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art appear to have put him in good stead for his first-ever Epicentre outing. I'm sure there'll be many more, given this memorable and accomplished performance which, come to think of it, puts me in mind of a youthful Leo di Caprio, in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' – Lloyd Bradford @ Australian Stage
Cheyne Fynn delivers a stand-out, memorable performance as the simple minded giant Lennie unaware of his own strength, and Andy Madden is solid as the salt af the earth, sensitive George. - David Kary @ Sydeny Arts Guide.
Andy Madden’s George is effectively savvy, Cheyne Fynn is absolutely believable and truthful as the simple Lennie, and the chemistry between the two propels the drama strongly throughout. - Neil Litchfield @ Stage Whispers
The real stars of this production are the boys, who … could teach one or two of their adult counterparts something about diction and projection….All seem to be competent, charismatic and well on their way to becoming fine, accomplished actors - Lloyd Bradford @ Curtain Call
Fynn revels in playing Mr Paravicini, a guest who enjoys bringing attention to himself from the moment that he arrives. – David Kary @ Sydeny Arts Guide
A strong central acting ensemble portrays the inmates of the institution credibly, with sensitivity, generally balancing well on the fine line that could so easily take them over the top. Given that the film was one of those great cathartic experiences for me, an impact I just can’t hope to duplicate, that I was genuinely affected by this production is testimony to the talents and efforts of the..cast and crew. - Neil Litchfield @ Stage Whispers
Exceedingly talented troupe of actors …these young actors are nothing short of outstanding…. Cheyne Fynn, Aileen Huynh, Alex Jalloh, Joshua McElroy, Jasmin Simmons, Guy Simon and Elijah Williams are almost inseparably and insuperably good in their respective roles. - Lloyd Bradford @ Curtain Call
Cheyne Fynn played the role of Chief Bromden with such heart, giving an intense and compelling performance. – Nini @ Weekend Notes
AADA graduate Cheyne Fynn gives a solid performance as the Chief. – David Kary @ Sydeny Arts Guide
Fynn’s delivery is ever haunting. - Jennie Sharpe @ Arts Hub
bAKEHOUSE lives up to the perils of ambition. Minimalism is the key to holding tight the reins of so ambitious a project. The only thing as big as Dickens' novel here is the acting and the marvellous direction. Lisa Thatcher @ Word Press
It is the excellence of the actors that makes this Enron so enjoyable – Sandra Bowden @ Oz Baby Boomers
…Cheyne Fynn is effective playing street hustlers and the bearish cellmate who brings Edmond to his knees. – Jason Blake @ Eight Nights a Week
Director John Harrison has created an ensemble cast that are, without exception, brimming with enthusiasm, sharp timing, humour, colourful accents and fluid entertaining choreography - Bronwyn Fullerton @ Sydney Arts Guide
The Crucible has drawn more tears from me than any other play and this incarnation by Emu Heights Productions is a powerful and deeply affecting presentation of a classic text….Director Ian Zammit has elicited strong performances from his cast…a very engaging and accessible production, one that has no doubt both pleased Miller fans and introduced great theatre to new audiences. - Veronica Kaye @ Theare Red
…Director Michael Dean has assembled an amazing cast who bring the ancient drama to life and the Greek chorus [Sinead Curry, Cheyne Fynn, Nathaniel Scotcher and Jennifer White] is a welcome comic relief. When they don modern accoutrements and join the audience they are as compelling to watch as the drama itself, giving the audience a participatory feeling. – Joy @ The Buzz from Sydney
This is a brilliant production…. The Chorus (Sinead Curry, Cheyne Fynn, Nathaniel Scotcher and Jennifer White) is wonderfully mischievous, both fun and foreboding. – Veronica Kaye @ Theatre Red
A gripping night of theatre … a fine ensemble of diverse actors - @ Time Out

A gripping night of theatre … a fine ensemble of diverse actors - @ Time Out
…Both Cheyne Fynn and Naomi Livingstone also did exceptionally well, given the number of ‘short-lived’ characters each had to play. Both Fynn and Livingstone have an ear for comedy and played out occasional dramatic moments when the script gave them the chance. … Fynn possessed a natural gravitas, lending a much needed heavy weight to the show. - @ Dinner and a Show
..It is the fortune-teller (wonderfully portrayed by Cheyne Fynn) who wakes Edmond up …..Tara Clark, Cheyne Fynn and Naomi Livingstone, all on their game and all willing to become the unpleasant underworld that derails the psyche in Edmond – Lisa Thatcher @ Lisa Thatcher
Louise Fischer’s very talented and energetic cast matches the speed and detail of Prebble’s writing. They work as a remarkable ensemble, changing characters constantly and yet never allowing the audience to become confused or disinterested. Fast, carefully choreographed scene changes add to the cut and thrust of the dialogue, creating the pace of the stock market, the rush of the city. Vocal work is also remarkable. Accents are mostly strong and voices very clear. - Carol Wimmer @ Stage Whispers
the cast not just first rate, but clearly having a wonderful time with their roles. This exuberance and joy is contagious, so that I had a huge smile on my face for the bulk of the play. - Lisa Thatcher @ Word Press
…the best Greek chorus I’ve ever seen with Sinead Curry. Nathaniel Scotcher, Cheyne Fynn and Jennifer White precise and fellated in all their mocking tributes...Phaedra is easily one of the best productions of 2014 – Lisa Thatcher @ Lisa Thatcher
The roles of Abigial, Villain extraordinaire and John Proctor the protagonist were par excellence and all the actors must be applauded for bringing us such great joy - Bijai Kumar @ The Western Weekender
…the chorus (Sinead Curry, Cheyne Fynn, Nathaniel Scotcher, Jennifer White), which was beautifully choreographed (Rachel Weiner) and performed with such intensity. The chorus carried the show – Jane @ Shit on Your Play
…The four fabulous actors who make up the chorus [Sinead Curry. Nathaniel Scotcher, Cheyne Fynn and Jennifer White] are relentless in acknowledging our gaze, and the seductive power they wield, pulls us further into a world where tears are shed, blood is let and everyone loses their mind…. It is irreverent and mischievous, but also dark and heavy. It is why we need the theatre. – Suzy Wrong @ Suzy Goes See
