Reviews

Evening Standard

"You'd be barking mad to miss it. With SHEER DAZZLE and BONKERS INVENTION, the production echoes the fizz and physical elasticity of a Road Runner cartoon"

Daily Telegraph

"This classic canine caper is A VERY TASTY FAMILY TREAT"

The Times

"Uber puppet designer and director Toby Olié’s spotty pooches are PROPER SHOWSTOPPERS. Kate Fleetwood as Cruella de Vil is AN ABSOLUTE JOY"

Financial Times

"WITTY choreography, WAGGISH puns, and as BUBBLY as a contented puppy"

Time Out

"Uber puppet designer and director Toby Olié’s spotty pooches are PROPER SHOWSTOPPERS. Kate Fleetwood as Cruella de Vil is AN ABSOLUTE JOY"

The Stage

"Energetic and fast paced, for kids and adults alike. PAW-SOME FUN"

Broadway World

"Truly EYE-CATCHING moments and clever, comic book-like effects"

City AM

"Pongo and Perdi are brought to life by some genuinely SPECTACULAR PUPPETRY - incredibly lifelike, from their distinctive gallop to the way they use their hind legs to scratch their ears. They’re A JOY"
