Reviews
All That Dazzles
'If you want to let your hair down, you will be living for every single minute of this exceptional show. It really is the tonic we all need.'
Fairy Powered Productions
'The slickest show in town with a song list to die for. Strap in for killer songs and glorious dark laughs.'
Musical Theatre Review
'Theatrical ecstasy.'
Whatsonstage
'Thrilling. Dark, rollicking and stylish, this is a fun, foul-mouthed addition to the roster of current London stage musicals.'
Evening Standard
'A sexy, smirky, tongue-in-someone-else’s cheek riot, gleefully politically incorrect.'
Time Out
'Pure nostalgic fun. Deliciously sly. Laugh-out-loud funny.'
