The laughs come thick and fast; the score is cleverly conveyed by bassoon, violin and accordion (arranged by bassoonist Leo Geyer); and the singing is glorious.

Joanna Turner’s lean, entertaining production

An operetta that, in the wrong hands, can outstay its welcome was over too soon.

[the cast] were assured and witty, both musically and dramatically

Whisked the frothy original into a nimble 50- minute snapshot of modern life

It’s great fun, and Turner’s updating gives a ring of truth to the potentially farcical story.

Small but perfectly formed production

Turner’s slick adaptation… is propelled by natural colloquialisms … and an enthusiastic and convincing cast

[Don Alfonso’s] challenge, and their resulting bet, comes about so naturally in this context that I began to wonder why every Cosi doesn’t start in a pub beer garden.

Mitcham has probably witnessed these human scenes many times before; the only change is that, this time, Mozart is involved, and everybody sings.
