'A glorious piece of nonsense... ingenious' ★★★★★ Reviews Hub 'G&S meets Agatha Christie meets Monty Python' ★★★★ Spy in the Stalls After last summer’s five star success with Patience the award winning ‘masters of Gilbert & Sullivan in small spaces’ return to Wilton’s with their side-splitting murder mystery spoof, which features every single G&S opera in 75 minutes of madcap tomfoolery. Get ready to be swept away on a Topsy-turvy journey from Cornwall to Chancery Lane, from Titipu to the Tower of London, from Portsmouth to Fairyland, as a dubious detective, intriguing travellers - and a pianist - uncover clues upon red herrings in this inventive, witty - and downright extraordinary - murder mystery. Express G&S is splattered with favourite ballads, songs and snatches from the Savoy operas including ‘The Pirates of Penzance’, ‘The Mikado’ and ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’, as well as from those less performed, such as ‘The Sorcerer,’ ‘Princess Ida’ and ‘Utopia Ltd’. All aboard the G&S Express - destination: Murder! 'Glorious spoof murder mystery... played with devastating style' ★★★★★ ReviewsGate 'It’s ingenious and witty, all thoroughly over-the-top, immense fun and totally Topsy-Turvy. G&S would have loved it.' ★★★★★ North West End UK 'A major coup of riotous jollity... just the ticket to raise your spirits' ★★★★★ Fairy Power Productions 'Well-nigh perfect entertainment' ★★★★★ LastMinuteTheatre.com 'Charles Court Opera’s production is great fun and you’ll sing all the way home' ★★★★ Musical Theatre Review 'A delightful combination of G&S references and the talent of incredible vocal performers' ★★★★ Lost In Theatreland 'Top notch' ★★★★ London Pub 'The Kings of English Operetta do some funny business with the Queen of Mystery...in this musical farce combining chills, thrills… and a lot of shrills.' ★★★★ First Night Magazine
