The Guardian – ★ ★ ★ ★
“Chris Cuming’s choreography hit standards far in advance of what seems reasonable to expect from the fringe”
The Stage – ★ ★ ★ ★
“The story is earthed with real sincerity and powered by a strong ensemble who bring a robustly masculine grace to it”
The Attitude – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“It’s a musical that delivers on good comedy, great songs and fabulous choreography”
Broadway World UK – ★ ★ ★ ★
“Its vigour comes largely from Chris Cuming’s choreography, with the standout tap number “Click” that makes you want to tap along in your seat. There are lots of recognisable period-specific dance moves in there, such as Lindy hop, but the energy that comes from a male ensemble gives it an original touch.”
Whats On Stage – ★ ★ ★ ★
“is an ingenious piece of musical storytelling, wonderfully choreographed by Chris Cuming.”
West End Wilma – ★ ★ ★ ★
“The show is brilliantly directed by Chris Cuming and features some of the best choreography I have seen in a long time and tap numbers to rival 42nd Street.”
Musical Theatre Review – ★ ★ ★ ★
“Chris Cuming’s choreography uses this to great effect, no less so than in a beautiful tap dancing pas de deux”
British Theatre .com – ★ ★ ★ ★
“sharp, exuberant choreography by Chris Cuming”
The American –
“Chris Cuming’s winning choreography, including a nifty tap duo, never settles for a lazy parody and, pleasingly, this is an irony free zone.”
