“Skinny Lister knows how to have a good time. Throughout their performances, there are various Celtic references, acoustic instrumentation and a ton of fun. It’s a kind of show where you need to hold onto your bootstraps.” Noisy
‘It is a spectacular show, distilling the carnivalesque spirit of the book…Rice’s relaunch is a splashy one, celebrating the sheer razzle-dazzle of a life in theatre’ The Guardian
‘Hard to think of another musical quite as unique as this. Christopher Luscombe’s affectionate production feels like a genuine blast from the past’ – Mail on Sunday
