"Undoubted showstoppers superbly done. Melodies by Alastair William King that soar and have drive. Lyrics by Fred Anthony Marco (like the script, which he also wrote) that have courage and let its heroes have flaws...
The final catharsis, so effective, so well done, is deeply moving and satisfying."

Optimistic and heart-wrenching all at once. World-class. "
