The Guardian

‘AN EVENING OF UNADULTERATED BLISS.
Writer Dennis Kelly and composer and lyricist Tim Minchin go to the top of the class with this anarchically joyous, gleefully nasty and ingenious musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s story.’

The Independent

‘UTTERLY EXHILARATING.
Matthew Warchus’s colourful riot of a production achieves an even dizzier balance between gleeful, grotesque, fun and heart-tugging poignancy, brilliantly drilled dynamism and warm, unforced charm.’

Evening Standard

‘THE QUEST FOR A GREAT NEW MUSICAL IS OVER.’

Time Out

‘Smart, quirky and sublimely good fun.
A moving and subtle spectacle which will have kids in stitches and adults in tears. It is guaranteed to delight anyone who’s ever been a child. I can’t wait to see it again.’
