“…
cheerful numbers… likeable trip back to the 50s.”
Max Preeo, Show Music
“One
of the main revelations of this event is the unexpected quality of Posford
and Maschwitz’s score… Maschwitz’s lyrics are never less
than apt, often clever, very often witty.”
Adrian Wright, musical-theatre.net
“…
tuneful and thoroughly entertaining in a jolly, unpretentious fashion…
a pleasing old-fashioned musical.”
Jim Murphy, The Age
