London Theatre 5*
“Everything in this show worked perfectly. Director Kate Golledge really knows how to use the intimate space in the St James Studio to great effect. Jerry’s Girls is a must-see for any fan of musical theatre. ”
West End Frame 4*
“Jerry’s Girls is a blissful and insightful evening, shining the light on an exceptionally talented theatrical legend. Kate Golledge’s production is slick and insightful whilst allowing the cast to be spontaneous and bounce off the audience. ”
So So Gay 5*

Musical Theatre Review 5*
“If there’s an empty seat in the next fortnight, it will be little short of criminal.”
The Public Reviews 4*
“Jerry Herman has enjoyed a mini-renaissance in the last couple of years with UK premieres of ‘forgotten’ shows Dear World and The Grand Tour. This revue should add to his reputation.”
Entertainment Focus 5*
“This is a joyous, vital and tightly choreographed production and is a must-see for those who love Herman – and even those who don’t.”
British Theatre 5*
“This is a genuinely terrific night in the musical theatre. Gypsy aside, there is nothing to touch it currently playing in London in terms of value for money and sheer, unrelenting happiness.”
Bargain Theatre 5*
“An energetic, yet emotive performance which is handled with great care. A thoroughly entertaining experience, peppered with glamour, humour and most importantly, fantastic songs.”

Remote Goat 5*
“Expertly directed by Kate Golledge, this is quite definitely the best show ever.”
Jonathan Baz 4*
“Kate Golledge directs assuredly, with an entertaining eye for detail. My one regret was not having discovered this gem of a show sooner so I could have had the opportunity to have returned to see it again.”
Plays To See 5*
“If you measure a successful evening by the quality of the performances on offer, the excellence of the material they have to work with, and the scale of the emotional journey that material takes you on then, with the possible exception of Gypsy at The Savoy, Jerry’s Girls is quite simply the best night out to be had in London.”
A Younger Theatre 4*
“An affectionate testimony to a hero of musical theatre.”
Thomas Magill 4*
“Jerry’s Girls is sublime and a perfect show to remind us of the genius that is Jerry Herman.”
