In a show chock-full with storylines, musical numbers, and bodies on stage at the Sydney Opera House, Jason Langley's direction was well-advised to keep things simple and clever to make for one highly entertaining piece of musical theatre done differently. Without spoiling anything, the energy levels carrying right to the atypical finish makes this a worthwhile night out.

Jason Langley directs with great clarity…and what a complete delight it was.
