BBC Radio: Katy Lewis

Rob Alderton has opened the door, because I was humming both the big ending “Automation” and the beautiful “How Can Something So Right Go So Wrong” all the way home!
As well as the two aforementioned songs I particularly enjoyed the clever and funny "Headline News" sung by the two members of the press who provided much of the comedy element.
The music that punctuates the speech is really, really enjoyable

...it was very refreshing not to merely be presented with a suspect plot held together with old pop tunes

The music was great!
So if one of the purposes of theatre is to challenge and make you feel uncomfortable about society, then they've definitely done their job!
And “Goodie the Bear Unmasked”, where the company mascot is revealed to be a classically trained, but failed actor made for more poignant laughs.
Fast Food is satisfying and easily digestible

Bucks Examiner: Review by Estelle Sinkins

Hats off to Rob Alderton for coming up with Fast Food – The Musical.

This satirical look at the early days of the fast food phenomenon has plenty of toe-tapping tunes, a wonderful ballad and some memorable characters It takes a sideswipe at the fast food industry, makes you think and the final line is a cracker!
Of course, this is a musical and it is the songs which will stick most in the mind. So are they any good? On the whole I have to say “Yes”.

…this was a very enjoyable show and I still have the song, How Can Something So Right Go Wrong, buzzing in my head.

Public Comment:

Every business student should see this show - it is a classic case study. More importantly it is highly enjoyable, vibrant and makes you think. A must see production

I look forward to seeing it again… in the West End
