 ★★★★★ - “Spine tingling…A scintillating revival” THE STAGE

★★★★★ - “Musical director and arranger Alex Beetschen sits onstage, reassuringly at the keyboard of a highly-polished grand piano, surrounded by the other seven musicians in his skilful band.” Musical Theatre Review

★★★★ - The Express

★★★★ - “a tremendous musical arrangement” Theatre Reviews Hub

★★★★ - “A Little Night Music introduced an eight-piece orchestra in to the fold instead of the cast playing the instruments and it added a new depth to the experience. The orchestra, led by musical director Alex Beetschen, were wonderful, smartly dressed and ever present at the side of the stage.” North West End

“All complicated timings, key changes and harmonies, it is certainly a challenging score but it is delivered tonight with aplomb by the cast and an outstanding orchestra under the musical direction of Alex Beetschen.” - British Theatre Guide
