"If I have any reservations it’s that the terrific band occasionally drowns out Porter’s deft wordplay, and after the dazzling pace of the first half there’s a slight loss of momentum in the second. But, honestly, those are quibbles. This production is a dream."

Kathleen Marshall’s direction and choreography are supremely polished. The best songs and the biggest moments belong to Reno Sweeney, and [Sutton] Foster knocks them dead. A magnificent London debut.

Imported Broadway star Sutton Foster effortlessly steals every scene as Reno with a devastating mix of raw talent ... and sheer, gutbusting effort. They don’t make ’em like this anymore ... but it feels fresh.
