Like eating several packets of space dust at once, washed down with a bottle of Mountain Dew, followed by a sing-song and a large G&T. Fast paced and very funny… Strike a pose and jump on board. ★★★★ I Love Manchester

Ambitious and stuffed with talent… A screamingly camp, epic space opera. ★★★★ The Stage

A romp of epic proportions through space and time almost literally dripping with kitsch, glitz and glamour… Sharp and exquisitely performed. ★★★★ The Reviews Hub

Doesn’t stop shocking, entertaining or asking questions… Bourgeois and Maurice take you on a time-travelling tale of what it means to be human. Culture Calling

Gloriously glitzy, Colourfully camp… An intergalactic odyssey that aims to serve as an all-singing, all-dancing cure for mankind. Manchester Wire

The sound and music are electrifying… Joyous, utterly bonkers and as camp as anything you will probably see this year. Or any year… Trust me, it’s brilliant. Big Issue North

A sequin-studded, thigh-high stomping, dazzling slice of escapism that genuinely has something for everyone. ★★★★ Quays Life

A silly, surreal, and smart musical, filled with great tunes, cracking one-liners, and great gags. ★★★★ Opening Night

The step up from alternative cabaret duo to full-blown musical theatre could have been a stumbling block, but [Bourgeois & Maurice] have nailed it… A camp cult classic in the making. ★★★★★ Upstaged Manchester

You get the impression [Bourgeois & Maurice] have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and it is truly deserved… You need to experience this for yourself, I can’t recommend this show highly enough. Canal Street

An impressive and successful expansion of Bourgeois & Maurice’s sensibility, deftly enhancing their work in a range of ways without losing any of their scabrous charm… Feels epic and homemade, funny and poignant, filthy and heart-warming… It’s funny and clever and packs a punch. Not Television

A musical like no other… Very funny, awash with talented actors, musicians, singers and dancers… You won’t be forgetting this one in a hurry that’s for sure. ★★★★ North West End

Utterly surreal… A tongue-in-cheek glittering neon firework ready to whisk you away… A perfect antidote to the increasingly depressing outside world. ★★★★ Leisure Gal

Witty fast paced lyrics and double entendres ricochet like alien laser beams as they stride around a tinfoil stage as though on a Parisian runway… The songs are witty, pithy and socially relevant, and delivered with gusto by the whole cast. Live Art Alive

A lot of fun and then packs in a little bit more… A baggy sense of optimism and a song to tap your pen to is close to guaranteed. FUSE FM

Lands in Manchester with the force of a cosmic meteor… It is great to see a theatre try something entirely fresh and original, the risk definitely paid off… Insane Animals is totally bonkers and immense fun. The Play’s The Thing

If you’re interested to see what could happen if The Rocky Horror Show met Flight of the Conchords in the TV room at Willy Wonka’s factory, then you’ll love this show. Insane Animals is inclusive and flamboyant… It is fast-paced, surprising, comedic and pointed – it’s just bloody brilliant. Harpy

Every bit as fun and colourful as I had expected it to be… A fun and wild spectacle. Mancunion

These two doyennes of the ‘alternative performance scene’ almost certainly have the makings of a mainstream theatrical hit on their artfully posed hands. Circles & Stalls

A riot, a pure joy… I’m not the biggest embracer of musicals but I was all over this one. Honorary Manc
