“A brilliant, witty, muscular tour de force”
- Thos Ribbits, Musical Talk
“An original musical with plenty of spark”

“Lisa-Jayne Rattray as Lady Macbeth blows our socks off as she arrives on stage” with her “tour-de-force performance”
“Hugh Moore smoulders away, first as a heroic Banquo, and later as his son Fleancé, who struts on stage in sky-high stilettos before performing several references to the similarly named Beyoncé” and his “tap dancing as Banquo is a delight”

“The concept is brilliant – a natural updating of the classic plot, very much matched to the zeitgeist”
“As a self-confessed Macbeth geek I simply loved all this, and was continually delighted by how cleverly they referenced the famous plot twists and soliloquies.”
“[John Paul] Liddle’s original score, orchestrated by Lorna Bailey, is fantastic”
“It’s a humorous and knowing adaptation, but in its own way it’s a thoughtful one”
“The book, lyrics and score are worthy of greatness – I truly mean that – and it isn’t hard to imagine it succeeding on a much larger stage”
- The Wee Review
