Sometimes it is worth studying the qualities of a logo. It can sometimes tell you more about the soul of an artistic production than anything else.

This production is peppered with some titanic performances, notably Cory English’s full-on portrayal of the deeply amoral producer Max Bialystock and David Bedella’s splendidly vain Roger de Bris. Phill Jupitus’s very solid pigeon-fancying old ‘Jerry’ Franz Liebkind got some belly laughs as did Louie Spence’s ultimately camp Carmen Ghia, while the very leggy Tiffany Graves’ Ulla impressed with high kicks and splits . . . Cory English literally physically threw himself into this performance as Max. If he had any gaskets left to blow at the end of the night I’d be surprised and impressed. . . “
