The Boston Globe raved, “the irresistible Tutty and Pitts have terrific chemistry… the couple’s fearless energy and spot-on timing are perfectly combined.” Upon its release, the original cast album exploded on social with over 5 million streams (and the full London cast recording is available here.)
