“There are moments of genial excess: Graham Kent’s Spitting Image-style Harold Wilson steps out in a daft morris dance with his aides, miniskirted dollybirds gyrate manically in a tacky Ford advertisement, and when the villainous big boss arrives from the US…the scene is an absurd salute to Americana, with a jigging Ronald McDonald, Marilyn and Elvis.”

The Daily Mail
★★★★
Douglas Rintoul’s lovely, lively production, staged with a charismatic group of actor-musicians on a sensibly spare set, bubbles with ebullient good humour, but isn’t afraid to let the bad times have their moments too.
The Evening Standard
★★★★
The whole production really is worthy of the West End and I would go so far as to say it’s the best show I’ve seen at the Queen’s Theatre (director Douglas Rintoul, choreographer Tim Jackson)
