★★★★★  The Quinntessential Review

“Suzie McAdam gives a powerhouse performance… This show is too good to be a one-off… an exquisite piece with pace and wonderful songs” 

★★★★★ Musical Theatre Review

“The rather impressive West End regular – nay, star – Suzie McAdam (Much Ado About Nothing, Rocky Horror Show, Kinky Boots) leads a wonderful 10-strong band of youthful actor-musos… genuinely laugh-out-loud… Director Stephen Whitson ensures a breathless pace, and skilfully negotiates the mix…award-winning designer Kenneth MacLeod’s luxurious and grand unified vision for the show… this is definitely a Jack and the Beanstalk that will surely have a life beyond” 

★★★★ The Indiependent 

“McAdam is a powerhouse performer. She commands the stage from the second she introduces the show… feels like a fever dream—but in the best possible way” 

★★★★ The Courier

“a show filled with seasonal magic… their daring puppet escape by wall and parachute is one of the best set pieces in a very visually inventive production… fit for the West End”
