“It might look more solid in a more compact space. But, these niggles largely don’t matter. Breathlessly surreal and surprisingly poignant, it is a lesson in imagination.”

“The QEH...is... quite steeply raked and with inadequate acoustics, which make it hard for the production to project as emphatically as it needs to. Miking up the cast has proved counter-productive, amplifying a tendency in some of them to shout their lines. And the set and props couldn’t help looking a bit lost, especially seen from above rather than closer to eye level.”

“The cycle of life and death is an interesting, possibly brave, premise for a piece of all-ages entertainment but the storytelling here is not entirely coherent.”

“Death is not an easy concept and ‘The House with Chicken Legs’ shapes a beautiful story using it as the subject matter. Packed with well performed and well written melodies, this musical is one for the ages, for people of any age! I implore you to see this if you want to dream a little this holiday time.”
