Kate Watson - Theatre Review

"As the evening’s host Max, Stewart Legere brings a wonderful mix of toughness and vulnerability, as well as incomparable musical talent. His ethereal duet with the gorgeous, rich-voiced Josephine (Naomi-Joy Blackhall-Butler) is haunting."

TWISI (The Way I See It) - Theatre Blog (September 11, 2011)

Amanda [Equality] Campbell - Independent Theatre Critic
