★★★★ review from Broadway World, "This is a brilliant and well-written musical... I'd love to see it expanded into a longer piece because I want to spend more time with these characters."

​

"a lovely piece of writing from Taylor Dyson and Calum Kelly. Its roots are firmly based in Scotland with lots of Scots language, dark comedy, a captivating plot and original songs packed into the 55-minute run time." - Lisa in The Theatre
