'Directed with brio and crowd-pleasing indulgence by Kwei-Armah, his valedictory production is full of effervescent, foot-tapping numbers and rousing ballads, anchored by the impressive vocal ranges of the main actors and well served by Anna Fleischle’s expansive, skilfully rendered set design.' The Telegraph
'All of this is told with some verve on Anna Fleische’s wonderful picture-book set which frames the action in wood-panelling and a rectangle of lights (designed by Jackie Shemesh) where the changes in costumes subtly mark the passing of the years.' WhatsOnStage
'It’s a story that jumps between several US states, and the marauding world of the show is gorgeously realised through a carousel of set designs by Anna Fleischle. The power of radio to connect the isolated is conveyed as the output from a glossy 50s radio studio beams into illuminated windows dotted above the stage, framing listeners in their respective homes. As Marcia and Lonesome travel from Arkansas to Illinois, Fleischle’s moving train carriage evokes Wes Anderson in its colourful symmetry.' London Theatre
