The Big Ending, Reviews & Photographs

 

Time Out Magazine

“It’s nice to see a new British musical, especially one with an interesting, original central idea…‘The Big Ending’ [is] a fun, Charlie Kaufman-esque twist on the genre…The show shapes up well, with low-key performances providing a platform for the sudden moments of musical glitz and emotion and tunes that are on the adventurous side of catchy…The idea remains exciting, but if this is to go any further, writers Shrubshall & Free need to get some more money behind them.”

Kieron Quirke, Mon Dec 4 2006

(S&F – “Yeah, thanks Kieron. Tell us something we don’t know.”)


The Stage Newspaper

“What if your life was suddenly like a musical? With people bursting spontaneously into song at the office or slipping into slickly choreographed dance numbers in the street…? As an idea it has real potential and writers Shrubshall and Free take the premise and run with it, delivering some sharp song-writing and moments of well-pitched black comedy…it really shines, especially in a scene of raw reunion between Mel and his former girlfriend who he abandoned years before at the altar.”

Natasha Tripney, Nov. 200
