What the critics say
There are some big, blowsy shows around in the West End, but this little belter is staging its own audacious invasion plan. – SUZI FEAY, THE FINANCIAL TIMES
a miraculous musical that tells the entire story in a kind of accelerated farce that is part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors. – NEIL NORMAN, THE DAILY MIRROR
But whoof! It blew the roof clean off. Hoots and tears welcomed this ingenious, touching musical. Taut lyrics, vintage gags, a wild tale and tunes that followed me out into the night air, in hums and whistles. Perfection… An artisanal masterpiece – THE DAILY MAIL
