Fabulous. This is gig theatre at its most exuberant
Guardian
Rocking revival is energetic, effervescent and hugely entertaining
Mail on Sunday
A cracking story crackingly well told, performed with energy, imagination and style and excellently directed by Dominic Cooke. The trio beautifully delineated and beautifully played
Chichester Observer
An outstanding cast. Bawden’s performance is beautifully fragile and her vocal-control is just top-notch. Strallen is warm and funny and beautifully timed and her rather astonishing vocal-range is used to its full effect. Hurst is firing on all cylinders. Her vocals, too, are soul-satisfying and her performance both fiery and vulnerable

Carly Bawden, Angela Marie Hurst and Zizi Strallen sing so scorchingly, against a live band so thrillingly punchy
The Stage
Zizi Strallen, Carly Bawden and Angela Marie Hurst are sensational in their roles. As an ensemble their harmonies are delicious and in solo work, each woman sings with a unique clarity and timbre that is spine-tingling in its beauty. Nigel Lilley and Toby Higgins musical arrangements of the score is inspired and their 5-piece band is sensational. With The Sound Of Music playing just across the driveway in the Festival Theatre it is likely that right now Chichester is home to some of the finest performances in the country.
