"Kate Milner-Evans’
Mrs Zero powers the opening,
her singing deploring her unhappy life and worthless husband stark, challenging and in-yer-face in this tiny space, her emotional expression transcending what language alone can communicate"

"Opposite him as the nagging
wife is Milner-Evans, whose opening aria, ‘Something to Be Proud of’, is one of the most intense five minutes I’ve heard sung on stage – relentless, comical and characterful. Wonderful"

“Kate Milner Evans is touching
as a spurned older woman… Evans and Neyman share the show’s high spot, Evans with the plaintive “Evening in Summer”… one is reminded of that touch of magic that can be provided
by musical comedy at its best.” - Classical source 2014
