Lizzie.d.mac – Utterly stunning production
Cut.glass.gallery - Quirky, funny, ridiculous and bemusing. Highly recommend going.
Ruth Sharville - I loved it this afternoon - the glorious music, the performance, the production, the Gilliam-esque touches in the animation, and most of all the biting satire, so relevant to here and now. Brilliant!
Alergia Penarth - Best production I’ve seen by far. Absolutely a wonderful experience.
John O’Connor - We loved it! Diolchynfawriawn. And Rakie Ayola as Pangloss brought it all together splendidly
Calan McGreevy - Candide was funny, different, amusing and the singing was superb! The orchestra of course is second to none - as the roars at the end testified 
Diolch!
Anne Marshall - It was amazing. Fabulous singing and what an orchestra! Truly innovative, exciting theatre. So fortunate to have had this experience - heartfelt thanks to all at WNO
