"This is a high energy, imaginative, slick production. Even though it is produced on a shoestring, it is performed to a high standard. It is better than some large cast, expensive pantos." Southend Theatre Scene

[Show Up! Southend @ShowUpSouthend]

"We loved it, even with a big group of grown-ups. It was so funny and the actors were super talented"

"What a wonderful and inclusive show. We enjoyed every moment of it! Superb acting and so funny. Something for all the family. We are so grateful."

[Show Up! Southend @ShowUpSouthend]

"Well, what a bloody excellent, bloody hilarious, bloody marvellous show that was last night! Thank YOU. A real treat....I went to see the Palladium one on Wednesday and left disappointed - I didn't last night."
"The show was awesome, inclusive, empowering and brilliant"
