“An extraordinary assimilation of styles and influences: expressionism, morality, fairy tale, bureaucratic satire, political nightmare.” – The Guardian
“A simple and brilliantly told narrative with bouncy, jolly music and lyrics… The quality of the songs, with their precise lyrics and mixture of popular styles, reminded me of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and you know how popular that show became.” – Daily Mail
