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
If you were being charitable you could say that it's an homage to Restoration theatre - a cheerful sense of bawdiness redone for a (relatively) modern audience. It doesn't feel very current though.
Tim Harding, Chortle, 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.
Amy Rye, Lost in Theatreland, 31st July 2023The Crown Jewels review
A right royal farce - and not in a fun way.
James Harvey, WhyNow, 29th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
A few gems - but it won't reign on West End.
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 28th July 2023The Crown Jewels review
Despite Mel Giedroyc and Al Murray, this is a vulgar, tragic mess.
Anya Ryan, i Newspaper, 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.
