The Times ★ ★ ★ ★

"It’s highly entertaining, but it’s also — as Fogg learns to depend on Passepartout and falls for a young Indian widow whom he rescues from the horrific fate of suttee — unexpectedly touching. A riotous romp with a heart."

British Theatre Guide

"Rebecca Grant is the beautiful Kamana Aouda who catches Fogg's eye and imagination.

Joyous and hugely entertaining production"

Staffordshire Life

"Glorious! That’s the first word that comes to mind but you could also add fabulous, clever – very clever, engaging, memorable and incredibly imaginative!

Rebecca Grant, as the beautiful Kamana, is a delight to watch as she joins in the mad antics of her companions with zest and passion, and as she goes from essentially death row to radiant bride!"

Virtual Shropshire

"Amongst the new recruits for this welcome re-run is Rebecca Grant who plays the poignant princess with such poise, dignity and charm I was actually willing Fogg to pop the question before she does. She’s all wide eyed and wondrous at her suddenly changing circumstances, as her earnest heart works on Fogg’s stiff upper lip…melting his logic, drip by drip."
