“a delight from start to finish” - The Irish Times - Michael Dungan ★★★★★
“plenty of farcical melodramatics and laugh-out-loud physical humour” - The Irish Times - Michael Dungan ★★★★★
“under Stephanie Dufresne, the production’s movement director, the dancing (...) and the movement and animation of the cast and chorus (...) are among the most enjoyable features of the production” - The Irish Times - Michael Dungan ★★★★★
“Ben McAteer of the vengeful Falke, Aaron O’Hare as the ludicrously amorous Alfred and Seán Boylan as the jovial prison governor Frank are all shot through with expertly executed silliness” - The Irish Times - Michael Dungan ★★★★★
“tenor Alex McKissick, as Eisenstein, Falke’s deserving victim, whose silliness is hilariously at odds with his matinee-idol looks and obvious accomplishment as a dancer” - The Irish Times - Michael Dungan ★★★★★
“Sharon Carty is clearly having a blast as the bored and androgynous Prince Orlofsky” - The Irish Times - Michael Dungan ★★★★★
