“Weill’s music is — no shock here — great Weill music. The cast, alongside Opera North’s orchestra and chorus, does justice to Weill’s feel for Americana. And the composer’s orchestrations for the snazziest ensemble numbers — ‘Progress,’ ‘Economics,’ ‘Women’s Club Blues’ — deserve to be savored.”

(Seth Colter Walls)

​The Times (London)

“An ingenious revival of Kurt Weill’s forgotten musical!”
