Reviews:
"The direction is humorous and inventive and at times reminds me of Monty Python's Spamalot. The performers are transformed into Biblical characters in seconds and suddenly there is a huge talking head on stage appearing out of nowhere - all thanks to genius use of props."

"Explosive energy was promised - and delivered. (---) The people in the audience were in a frenzy." Tampester Teatro -blog
"After every flashy musical number, you think they can't turn up the volume anymore, yet they succeed in bringing in more musical elements every single time. Like I said, musical fan heaven! (---) The parable of the Good Samaritan has never touched me as deeply." Bibbidi Bobidi Book -blog
"(---) This is what the world would need more of, shows filled with joy and positive energy.." Aina eturivissä -blogi
