| Comment | Date | | Just seen production at Southend. Amazing set, one of the best I have seen at the theatre for a long time. Excellent cast, a show not to be missed. - Pauline Young | 03 May 13 |
| | Given the limitations of a small stage, this production was fantastic! It covered all the pathos, comedy and situations in which our heroes found themselves nearly as good as the original film production. Well done! Casting was excellent. - Mrs D Hoyland | 18 Feb 13 |
