Intense, Funny, Clever

See it if you like a funny first half being continued by an emotional second

Don't see it if you want to sit comfortably (since this is not possible in the Other Palace)

...staged with an intelligence and theatrical flair...This is a musical treat for grown-ups. Emotionally rich, theatrically satisfying and altogether, yes, extraordinary.'

The Telegraph (UK)
September 6th, 2019

Jewface-controversy musical has flashes of wit but too many songs...The piece is choppy and uneven, betraying its origins as three individual one-act musicals, but everything comes into much sharper focus after the interval.'
