witty lyrics and visual impact”
NEWBURY WEEKLY NEWS
“This utterly delicious new musical version of Hans Christian Andersen…
pulls off the considerable trick of delighting children and winking wickedly
at adults simultaneously... ...One's feathers standon end with joy...
...Breathes exhilarating new life into an old classic....
THE INDEPENDENT
“The Ugly Duckling story, turned into a witty, tuneful musical by George Stiles
and Anthony Drewe, the brightest hopes for the future of the British musical.
Stiles writes genuinely hummable tunes from novelty numbers to yearning
love songs, while Drewe is a splendidly literate and witty lyricist”
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
“It’s hard to imagine a show more perfectly designed to appeal to audience
members as young as six, while still giving the grown ups a great time too”
WHATSONSTAGE
“Imagine the colour and wit of Disney’s Jungle Book, mixed with the vivacity
of ‘40s Hollywood musicals, exuberantly staged, and you still only have
some idea of how stonkingly brilliant this Christmas treat is”
TIME OUT
“…that rare and right combination: a musical for
thinking children and adults”
THE SOUTHAMPTON PRESS, NEW YORK

for thinking children and adults... "
