Critics reviews

“At the end of this week, the world’s longest-running show will complete its 65th year in the West End. It is salutary to reflect that when it opened, Winston Churchill was prime minister and there was still rationing.”

- Evening Standard UK

“It has passed into the realm of great British institutions, as much a highlight of the tourist trail as the Tower of London or Madame Tussauds.”

- Sunday Express
