“The show has a delirious weightlessness: for 150 minutes, you’re lifted out of care, and logic.”

"It is a divine production that leaves us giddy, capturing the stock romance between the central couple but also the soaring romance of theatre, with its stars and sawdust allure. If there is one fluffy summer musical to watch, let this be your guilty pleasure."

“ Stemp busts a gut doing what he does best: delivering winning smiles, soulful singing and immaculate footwork, turning on a sixpence between the graceful and the goonish...he’s worth the price of admission alone. But the whole ensemble are a sight, and a joy, to behold too. Go.”

“The whole evening is full of joy...As for the chorus, each and every one of them is superb, making an impact through through their ability to make every moment of Stroman’s dancing magic pure, irresistible fun.”

“Susan Stroman's ‘Crazy For You’ is pure musical theatre heaven...Beowulf Boritt’s sets, William Ivey Long’s costumes and Ken Billington’s lighting are all swoon-worthy: it feels like tumbling into a Golden Age MGM musical. Even the curtain call is a triumph. Five stars just isn’t enough – I wish I could give it ten.”
