Media
“Lively… amusing and exciting theatre.” – The New York Times
“Boasts some damned fine songs… The score is undoubtedly worth the cost of admission.” – The Guardian
“Spectacular… complex, surreal, and yet whimsical.” – DC Theater Arts
“Eccentric… a piece about inversion, exposing the dark side of theatrical archetypes and stock figures of the British class system… it draws heavily on the British Music Hall tradition, combined with a sense of Continental absurdism.” – Exeunt Magazine
