"Phil Sealey’s enjoyable Autolycus is a plump red-haired Victorian jester with a top hat and a beard you could stuff a sofa with!"

"Phil Sealey almost steals the show as King Norbert, especially with his hilarious impersonation of R2D2"

"A terrific and truly lovable Dame"

"Phil Sealey is balletically brilliant as Gordon Brown throwing himself around the stage with the deftness of Astaire but with perfect comic timing resulting in utter hilarity"

"Phil Sealey expertly provides the comic relief as Alberich the troll king"

"A Touching and often downright hilarious performance from Phil Sealey"

"In a singular flash of brilliance, Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator guilty of countless war crimes, is reimaged as an all singing all dancing Groucho Marx complete with thick moustache and cigar: "Oy, Allah!" he mutters to himself as he breaks into a Broadway Blues-infused ballad."

"I do think it might be a kind of perverse genius to make Phil Sealey's Saddam Hussein inexplicably from old New York, having him barrel around the stage huffing on a cigar and singing 'I’ve never done anything wrong”"

"All the performances a great - particularly Phil Sealey's laboured gulmps of breath as Gordon Brown"

"Phil Sealey does a super job of recreating Gordon Brown, giving him a stroppy, sulky attitude problem, as he awaits his chance to play Prime Minister. In the second half, Sealey also gives an exceptional performance as Saddam Hussain in the style of Groucho Marx, as he sings 'I Never Done Anything Wrong'"

"The show’s standout moments are numerous, including Phil Sealy’s Groucho Marx-ified Saddam Hussein belting out “Never Done Anything Wrong”"

"Sealey melts and breaks hearts in equal measure with his wonderful portrayal of compulsive over-eater Phil(ippa), being both funny and poignant in nearly every scene he’s in."

"The material is hugely elevated by the cast, there’s also quality crooning from Phil Sealey as the loveable Phil Newman"

"The velvet voiced Phil Sealey is poignantly magnificent as over-eater Phil, a truly addictive performance"

"Phil Sealey as obsessive eater Phil Newman is equally compelling and delivers top-notch musical theatre work with the haunting Still Here"

"Supporting characters are top notch throughout with comic relief provided time and again played beautifully by Phil Sealey."

"although by far the biggest laugh of the night is given full and ebullient force by the cheerily huggable Phil Sealey as Steve"

"And last but certainly not least is Phil Sealey as Steve, whose dance moves bring the house down and he deserves enormous credit for his courage and tenacity in the role"
