"Wickedly enjoyable. ...Dempsey's lyrics are exceptionally witty, and Rowe's music jaunty and tuneful, yet with the sophisticated sweep of a Sondheim."
– TIME Magazine

"Lovingly propelled by a quirkily exuberant musical score by composer Dana P. Rowe that bursts with melody and musical wit."
– The Stage

"Something out of the ordinary.... In every sense a truly magical show. Performed, written, composed, choreographed, designed and directed to within inches of perfection. It's the musical that starts the 21st century and will already be a hard act to follow."
– International Herald Tribune

"[Marks] the return of musical comedy"
– The Telegraph
