REVIEWS:
"It's hard to wipe the smile off your face when Peter Quilter's new musical suddenly rocks into dazzling, deafening action... a song-and-dance workout of awesome laser-guided precision -- It would be hard to find a tighter, more electric show than BoyBand."
Sunday Times, London
"The audience screamed the place down... a triumph!"
