What people are saying

There are no limitations here, just glorious liberation, as the performers fly across the sky and the world explodes all around them.

The Guardian on Prometheus Awakes

REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL is a total blast: for the nostalgics it’s a truly touching and affectionate tribute to one of our great street poets; and for everyone one else it’s We Will Rock You and Matilda served up by the best ensemble cast I’ve seen in years.

Danny Boyle on REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL
