Great staging, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if You love musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber,

Don't see it if you hate that many of the characters are now played by children instead of adults as with previous productions

Entertaining, Confusing, Dated

See it if You love an old classic religious tale that is as weird as entertaining.

Don't see it if You can’t stand a rainbow coat that doesn’t make any sense !

Must see, Great acting, Great staging, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if You love the musical or family feel good musicals. Popular with all ages. Great cast all showing their talents.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy full on Lloyd -Webber musicals. But why not try it, you might find Thatcher really do love it!

Dated, Great staging, Great singing, Enchanting

See it if You like traditional musicals.

Don't see it if You want something a bit more modern. The songs were all a bit long, repetitive and samey for me.

Time Out London
September 5th, 2021

Look, it’s a kids’ show with some winning songs and the budget of a small nation state. Of course it’s fun. But there’s no great revelation in this revival – it’s just a 50-year-old musical coasting on bright tunes and arched eyebrows.

The London Evening Standard
July 11th, 2019
For a previous production

Director Laurence Connor breathes zesty new life into those potent, familiar songs, and in newcomer Jac Yarrow has found a man with formidable pipes and enough charm to imbue the blank lead character with some personality.

For a previous production

Those tourists wishing to make sense of bonkers Britain – and anyone simply requiring head-emptying release from the Brexit madness – should give this not-so-ordinary Jo a go.

London Theatre

For a previous production

That jaunty sense of fun permeates director Laurence Connor's constantly inventive new vision for the show, which is mostly a steamroller of pure joy and comic delights.

For a previous production

Occasionally John Cameron’s orchestrations drown the lyrics and one or two ideas, such as guitar-wielding statues, prove there is no lack of corn in Egypt. But this is an ebullient production...

For a previous production

For a previous production

Enjoyable as it is, it's all a bit relentless. However, if you're a die hard Sheridan Smith fan you can probably add at least one more star to the rating above.

The Stage (UK)

For a previous production

For its 50th anniversary, producer Michael Harrison has brought Joseph – and Jason Donovan – back to the Palladium for this joyful, colour-saturated production by Laurence Connor. The changes aren’t colossal, but the scale is.
