Press Reviews

"Jules Verne's 19th-century adventure yarn, featuring the intrepid Phileas Fogg and his guileless servant Passepartout, is conjured with much playfulness, wit, and ingenuity by Phil Willmott."

— Time Out

"A pocket-sized musical that is loads of fun and has loads of tunes to make you tap your toes. A complete delight."

— The Guardian
