Spamilton, 2018


From the opening bars – played by the tireless MD Simon Beck from the piano (bravo, sir, for shouldering the entire score, claves included!) – the cast of seven (well, five, really, with two guest slots) machine-gun out the best of Miranda’s music, plus quite a few showtune classics. It’s absolutely relentless, in a good way, and as long as you’re a fan of the original, this parody will keep you laughing throughout.” – MusicalTheatreReview.com
