Reviews:

"thoroughly entertaining, musical revue … the accompaniment on the piano by musical director Sarah Travis and
guitarist John Gregson is sublime … hope for the future of British musical theatre." Paul Vale, The Stage

"beautifully assembled by director Simon Greiff & MD Sarah Travis with book by Andrew Brinded, is a beacon of
hope … a seriously talented quartet of Cantwell, Gillan, Moore & Perry give heft and class." Mark Shenton

"songs that blend seamlessly to form a coherent whole in a narrative, voiced, coloured and vivified by four
established West End musical theatre performers … Lyrics are a revelation - witty, clever, the opposite of dumbed-
down … you don't have to be a Soho-ite - or even a Londoner - to love it: love it, you will."
Anita Butler, British Theatre Guide

"A set of edgy tunes that cleverly evoke both the grittiness of Soho and the humanity of its denizens."
Andy Propst, TheaterMania
