Critic reviews
All Pumpkin, No Balls
If you loathe the tinsel and detest turkey, this one’s for you
Exuberant and funny musical based on the Cinderella fairy tale. Excellent performances by a talented cast, catchy songs and lively dance numbers
A well-meaning play brimming with hopeful kindness and soundtracked by infectious music. It makes for a fun evening
There’s almost certainly a moral to the story, but it’s probably not worth spending too long looking for it, instead enjoy the fabulous score and fantastic cast in this joyous musical, that has acceptance at its heart
A talented company in an entertaining piece
I would challenge anyone to remain unmoved by Robbie’s heartfelt torch song They Don’t Make Glass Slippers which shines a well-deserved spotlight on his talent as a singer and the writing skills of the composers
Sardonic, funny, entertaining, and even moving at times
It's certainly one heck of a party down Old Compton Street
Broad comic performances
Uninspired revival of Stiles and Drewe's problematic musical fairytale
Even without looking too hard for a moral it's plain to see that Will Keith's production is bags of fun, with an incredibly talented cast
