Show-Score Member Reviews (7)
See it if A new musical with a fun new score, with enjoyable performances
Don't see it if You want a show with a bit more substance. It was quite silly at times
See it if you like a fantastic cast that excel in choral singing and comedy. Some very fun songs and oddly charming moments.
Don't see it if You want to see a more traditional musical. The plot is essentially a giant fever dream, so bare that in mind!
See it if Something off kilter amateurish and different
Don't see it if Stories that make no sense. Song that are bland, sweaty costumes
See it if You want to waste your money
Don't see it if You have a shred of common sense... It's quite possibly the worst show I have seen ... Ever
See it if You’re interested in musical theatre
Don't see it if You only love silly jukebox musicals
See it if You're into obsurd comedy, think Montey Python esc. Catchy songs, and incredible music.
Don't see it if You're looking for a serious and straight edged show or you're standard musical
See it if You’re into musical theatre, that’s new to the UK. Very good show from writers of Urinetown. Great performances from established and new
Don't see it if You’re not into musicals, or the unusual.

"If this is an attempt at absurdist theatre, it comes off as a leftfield school concert gone awry. ... It all feels like protracted self-indulgence. Best put back in the petri dish and left in an eternity of splendid fungal isolation."

"It’s a pity, as with the right focus, this could have been a genuinely amusing show. But in its current state, it requires further evolution."

"This is a show that is getting a real Marmite level of love or hate reaction. There is certainly no question that it is honestly the most ludicrous premise for a musical, quite possibly ever!"

"A contender for the weirdest show of the year, this isn't a bad show by any means but more could be done to make all the elements fit together consistently. Sadly not a triumph but still a fun night out in itself."
