“Ultimately, Kevin! [The Musical] succeeded in making me feel both insane and elated. It was a truly bizarre and hilarious show that made me feel pessimistic about the state of America while loving watching it unfold. If you want a fun evening, full of meta jokes, zany humour, and lovely singing then I would recommend Kevin! [The Musical] as I am sure it will go places after this initial run.”

“The show was nothing short of a detailed, satirical examination of modern-day American society. The writer’s affection for American people certainly came through in both the characters and the writing but conclusions of the story were quite another matter.”

“To the consternation of Kevin, and the credit of Sharland, the songs themselves, in particular the hookworm that is We Can Achieve Our Targets, are blessed with the kind of immediacy and memorability that endure into the bus ride home and beyond. Moreover, the musical performances themselves are uniformly excellent.”
“I was cackling loudly during the show. It was very funny, would recommend to friends.”
“A fantastically entertaining evening. Just a little bit hoarse this morning from laughing so much. All the performances were carefully observed and nuanced.”
“We went last night and my stomach and jaws hurt from laughing. We loved every minute of it and hope the shows gets to be shown in other cities too. Such brilliant writing and we would happily go watch it again ! Thank you one and all for an absolutely brilliant evening!”
“Amazing!!!! So funny and entertaining. Songs were amazing and cast were amazing!”
“Fantastic show, very funny and not too overtly political. If you think of the "stop that singing" skit in Monty Python and the holy grail and drag it out for 3 hours then basically that is what you have, but don't be put off by that, it works really well; the cast are ace and it is just an all round entertaining evening.”
“soso good and soso funny !! i loved the songs and the acting and the humour and the dead rats”
“Great show with some superb music. Fantastic performances from the cast. What I loved most, was that the show didn’t go in the direction you thought it would. So it wasn’t predictable. This show needs to be shown to the rest of the country. Please let me know if any other shows are out on.”
ADVISORY WARNING (16+)
Kevin! [The Musical] features potentially distressing material such as: sudden and loud nosies, flashing lights, violence, torture, blood, obscene language, allusions to mental illness, as well as references and depictions of topical issues in America such as racism, gun control, misogyny, conspiracies and school shootings.
Though Kevin! [The Musical] is a comedy, we do not want to trivialise the very real issues which this show explores. This show was written as a satire, but real life has continuously outpaced the insanity of the show’s fiction. As Trump’s second term proves to be more frightening by the day, the rights of marginalised people are being challenged in ways unseen for decades in the USA. Given this, we would ask that you consider donating to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to help protect the rights of marginalised people in the USA. We would also like to recommend donating to Sandy Hook Promise, a charity aimed at combating the epidemic of gun violence in America.
