Commentaires : The musical opened to almost unanimous critical acclaim, garnering 5-star ratings from the Evening Standard, Financial Times, The Independent, The Mail on Sunday, The Independent on Sunday, The Sunday Times, Metro, The Sunday Express and Time Out magazine.
Commentaires longs: Many of the reviews made reference to the potentially controversial musical treatment of the source material, for example, critic Michael Coveney of The Independent wrote: "Doubters can be assured there is no "cashing in" on the tragedy, rather a deep, abiding sadness that it happened at all, and even a slight, knowingly shameful admission that something good has come out of it: a reborn community and a renewal of civic pride."
London Road won Best Musical at the 2011 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards, held on 24 January 2012.
Presse : "A remarkably detailed social panorama. Don't miss. "
Kate Bassett for The Indpendent

"Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork's wonderfully sung play, which has more spoken and musicalised dialogue than big numbers, has a serious subject, an innovative technique and an insinuating score."
Susannah Clapp for The Guardian

"Imaginatively staged production.The whole concept might sound deeply dodgy, but somehow it works, combining humour and compassion."
Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

"By turns disturbing and surprising, haunting and harrowing, it is also frequently unexpectedly funny and ultimately even uplifting."
Mark Shenton for The Stage

"A subtle and affecting work."
Henry Hitchings for Evening Standard
