​

“A very polished and gripping performance. I loved the way the show pulled no punches and let rip with vulgarity in a brilliantly judged way, not just for the sake of it. The hilarious, show-stopping song 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' is still in my head.”
   - PAUL WILLIAMSON, Nottingham Evening Post

​

   - ROBERT LYALL, Emeritus General and Artistic Director, The New Orleans Opera Association

   - THEODORE P. MAHNE, Times Picayune, New Orleans

​

   - CHRISTOPHER MILES, Director of ‘Priest of Love’ starring Sir Ian McKellan, London

​

A gifted and well-produced musical, it offered plenty of enjoyment. And yet it was moving – and not escapist – to have Lawrence so emphatically and professionally celebrated on stage, in England, in 2013.”

   - DR CATHERINE BROWN, Academic, Broadcaster, Head of Department and Senior Lecturer in English

at New College of the Humanities in London

“When I first saw the beginning of this musical, I thought that it may have been better suited as a drama. How wrong I was. I was not only surprised, I was taken on a pleasant journey. This is a 'snappy' production and really quite charming. For the most part, it is quite light-hearted, but with enough passion, sadness … charm and emotion to keep you entertained. This musical gives a good 'insight' into the life of D.H. Lawrence the author, as well as his 'complicated' private life. The superb timing of the cast and the full use of the stage are a dead give-away, this is a professional production, and what a gem! The singing was also surprisingly splendid and at times very moving, especially at the end. I never expected the end to be nearly as 'powerful' as it was, and some of the audience were clearly brought to tears. Terrific! The musical does everything that it would say on the tin. It informs you and moves you, but above all else, it’s very entertaining. Well done on such a good production.”
   - PETER TAYLOR, London
