The Crown Jewels review
This real-life audacious heist story should have an abundance of comedy riches to exploit, but instead The Crown Jewels never manages to shimmer.
Theatre Weekly, 1st August 2023The Crown Jewels review
With a star-studded cast, and some performers multi-roling throughout, it has the potential to be a great show - but isn't polished enough to sparkle like the aforementioned jewels.

Al Murray saves the king, but not quite the show in royal heist comedy.

A right royal farce - and not in a fun way.
James Harvey, WhyNow, 29th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
Royal comedy is lacklustre, but Al Murray and Mel Giedroyc still sparkle.
Isobel Lewis, The Independent, 28th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
Al Murray and Carrie Hope Fletcher provide the only high points in a disappointing production.
Gary Naylor, The Arts Desk, 28th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
The cream of British comedy can't find a funny line between them.
Arifa Akbar, The Guardian, 28th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
Even Al Murray's Pub Landlord can't save this mess.
Adam Bloodworth, City AM, 28th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
Al Murray's King Charles is hilarious in otherwise plodding play.
