An excellent plot nearly gets buried under a bland song book, but powerful storytelling wins in the end.

A boisterous musical with balls and a lot of heart!  

Inventive project with a fabulous score, story could have flowed better.

A light-hearted medieval musical with a solid cast, occasionally brilliant comedy and some catchy songs, but sadly lacking the overall polish and wow-factor of Tim Rice’s later triumphs.
