‘I marvelled at the ability of director Nicky Allpress, and choreographer Adam Haigh, to create a seamless flow of movement and narrative in such a physical piece. They, along with all the creatives involved, have gifted us with a flawless production.’

Loretta Monao for LondonTheatre1 ★★★★★

‘Allpress, stages it all masterfully so that we are never confused as to who is who and has drawn confident, detailed performances from a relatively inexperienced cast.’

Phil Willmott for London Theatre Box Office ★★★★★

‘Sometimes director and cast can take a play, and through the brio of performances and direction breathe new life into it’

William Russell for Reviews Gate ★★★★

‘Director, Nicky Allpress keeps the pace up and gets plenty of energetic performances as a reward.’

Gary Naylor, Broadway World ★★★★

‘A rollicking romp around the stalls of Romford fills the Union Theatre, Southwark, in a joyous revival of David Eldridge’s Market Boy’

Broadway Baby ★★★★★

‘There are times when it’s just a joy to spend an evening at the theatre being entertained for the sake of it. This is one of them. Don’t miss the opportunity!’

Richard Beck for Broadway Baby ★★★★★

‘If you want a thoroughly good night out with laughs, lots of action then this is perfect play to go and see. Plus the added chance to reminisce over everything that was good about the 1980s. Which in reality was predominantly the music.’

Elaine Chapman for London Theatre Reviews ★★★★

‘A slice of life set to the music of the eighties is hard to resist.’

The Londonist ★★★★
