Critics Review
‘Quite extraordinary – a musical not like any other’
* WhatsOnStage *‘A superb, unmissable musical… asks questions about mental health, about connection and isolation among teenagers today, and ends up being as overwhelming and complicated as adolescence itself’
* Independent *‘Gives voice to the angst of doubt-riddled adolescence… it doesn’t just possess musical confidence, it exudes considerable wit and sounds commendably contemporary’
* Telegraph *‘Powerful, moving… a musical all about connection, anxiety and loneliness that reaches out to the anxious and lonely and tries to make a connection with them’
* The Stage *‘A breathtaking knockout of a musical’
* New York Times *‘One of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history’
* Washington Post *‘This heart-scorching musical about the struggle to connect feels like a hallmark of this particular moment in history. It’s an old-school interactive experience in which you show up in person and sit very close to whomever you came with. It’s a visceral exchange, one that feels primal and rare’
