MY LEFT/RIGHT FOOT PRESS
“Without the music, the show would not be what it is. Filthy and shocking, but also downright side-splitting, musical and lyrical masterminds, composer Claire McKenzie and lyricist Scott Gilmour of Noisemaker, create a musical score which complements the show’s satirical nature.”
Sunday Post ★★★★★
“Riotously funny”
Evening Standard ★★★★★
“The songs written by Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie are solid gold. I’m definitely going to need a cast recording”
Broadway World ★★★★★
“the shows songs are clever, heartfelt, funny, often refreshingly filthy and brilliantly performed”
Scotsman - Winner of Fringe First 2018 ★★★★
“Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie’s compositions similarly too good to be pastiche… Utterly fanspastic.”
The Herald - Winner of Herald Angel 2018 ★★★★
“The score is pretty near perfect… expect your face to ache from smiling non-stop”
Musical Theatre Review ★★★★★
“The shows’ main pleasure, however, lies in the clash between the ropiness of the am-dram setting and the clever, inventive songs”
The Times ★★★★
“this is a scathingly funny and massively enjoyable show that uses popular theatre to tell unpopular truths about box ticking and our outmoded attitudes to inclusion”
Independant ★★★★
“The music by Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie sparkles with wit and parody… from a satirical take on “Electricity” from Billy Elliot in “Spasticity” to a powerful ballad “On The Outside” and a take on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s style with “The Show is F**ked… Fight for a ticket, it’s a must-see show!”
British Theatre Guide ★★★★★

“a perfectly pitched, gloriously irreverent and fantastically funny exploration of the thorny issue of how we treat disabled people in our society”
Fest ★★★★★
