British Comedy Guide, 11th January 2021The Boy in the Dress divides opinion at RSC - review
This is a Marmite sort of show and while there was much wild whooping and frantic applause, there were also some folded arms and stony faces.
Peter Rhodes, The Express and Star, 29th November 2019The Boy in the Dress review
A wonderfully warm-hearted and well-cast show.
Paul Taylor, The Independent, 29th November 2019The Boy in the Dress review
Bright performances, but a disappointing score.
Paul Vale, The Stage, 28th November 2019Review: The Boy in the Dress
If you wanted to criticise, you could argue that The Boy in the Dress is not as subtle as the RSC's last musical hit Matilda. But then Matilda didn't have a farting dog.

After having the time of their lives doing an am-dram Dirty Dancing last week, Lemon and McGuinness aim their proton accelerators at Ivan Reitman's high-spirited classic, roping in Robbie Williams, Sarah Parish and 'Allo 'Allo star Vicki Michelle to help spoof Zuul and the gang. It's short, at least.
