Presse : NICK CURTIS for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Once in a Lifetime is not very funny or very sharp, and director Edward Hall tries to paper over its deficiencies by throwing expensive sets..." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "At the end, I felt as exhausted by the struggle to have a good time as the game cast must be by the strain of trying to provide one." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Dizzily enjoyable revival." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Has a certain period charm." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "There’s no faulting the energy of Hall’s cast or the exotic excellence of Mark Thompson’s designs... I just wasn’t convinced that Once in a Lifetime was worth the effort." ALISTAIR SMITH for THE STAGE says, "It falls down due to a lack of substance and fails to create anything truly memorable. Like its source material it is just a bit too frothy."

Presse : "Edward Hall’s joyous production neatly allows the songs to grow out of the story and the cast is first-rate...At close to three hours, the show is on the long side but it offers a heady celebration of a quintessentially English talent." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"Alongside some interesting ideological clashes between socialism and trade unionism, Sunny Afternoon is a hymn to English musical individualism and artistic perseverance – all with the miniskirts and freshness of 1960s London. I predict 21st century-sized box office returns." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail

"For all the energy and skill bubbling away, Edward Hall’s confident production occasionally lacks forward momentum. ‘There’s no handbook for what you’re trying to do’, says Ray’s Dad to the boys, but it remains unclear precisely what this might be, what anger or passion fuels them." Fiona Mountford for the Evening Standard
