REVIEWS:

"It is a rare treat to be working on a show where our cast aren't portraying beggars on the streets of Paris or farmers in the cornfields of Oklahoma!, but are creating something truly Australian. The enormous success of this show with our audiences has been a huge thrill and surprise, and I think the key to that success is in the show's 'Australian-ness', if you will. It resonates with audiences, and allows us to laugh at ourselves and love ourselves in equal measure. The show's tagline is 'Love is in the Air' and for our company and theatre-goers alike, it certainly has been a funny and totally joyous ride."

 Belinda King, Encore Theatre Company
