'Reasons To Be Cheerful', "the acclaimed smash hit musical returns! "
"The stage gives off a million volts."
The Guardian
"Rough, ready and bloody brilliant."
Time Out
'The music is brilliant, and there are moments of crude punk genius' - The Times
Great nite at Stratford Theatre Royal, watching 'Reasons To Be Cheerful', the Blockheads endorsed musical by Graeae Theatre company, who as britains longest serving company employing actors with disabities. Great performances all round, fantastic band and our old mate Pickles, describing events for the visually impaired audience. Hats off to STILL Londons most working class theatre, serving its community proudly. How many venues encourage audience participation on this scale? Being in a joyous jumping stalls seat as the brilliant band and cast romped thru an encore of 'Blockheads' will linger long in the memory! - Oi Oi!
An absolute treasure of a show (Spit Ding got the reviewer right in the eye) The energy flowing off and on that stage was mighty impressive. and a musical soundtrack to KILL for! I swear by Sidney Taffler Almighty there were Old Punks, Grannies ( Same fing innit?) kids n hoodies, sniffles and shivers right thru that place , when the melody and words 'Shall I mourn Your decline with some thunderbird wine' tripped lovingly thru the space....Love A Duck. X K O'D
Oi Oi! Imagine finding one in your laundry basket, banging nails in your big black dog! Respect to the Graeae Theatre Company.
After all is said and done, we're all Blockheads too!
