REVIEWS

"Direction by Craig Ilott and design by Josh McIntosh, Craig Wilkinson and Matthew Marshall, combine to give a visually rich experience."
GLAM ADELAIDE

"The lighting design by Matthew Marshall, Video Design by Craig Wilkinson and Set Design by Josh McIntosh were dynamic and dripping with energy."
THE CLOTHESLINE

"The synchronisation of sound, vocal, dance, lighting and other audio-visual elements is paramount to the show’s success, and the precision of all involved here is hugely impressive."
THE UPSIDE NEWS

"The impressive projected video content (designed by Craig Wilkinson) is full of images recognisable for their part in a saturated media. Both the projections and Matthew Marshalls’ outstanding lighting design (which plays an integral role in enhancing the production’s electric vibe) are enormous assets to the show."
THEATRE PEOPLE

"Video projection enhances the detailed set and creates some amazing sequences."
ADELAIDE THEATRE GUIDE

"Josh McIntosh‘s set is a classic nondescript rundown back-alley that can easily adapt as the scenes change with the brilliant use of projection."
