A positively gushing review:

EXCERPT:

When the better-than-camp Michael of Henry Farmer – a twinkling genius and an utter hoot – lures him into cross-dressing, it’s yet another of Billy’s learning curves. Both of their Geordie accents are glorious.
Waving Billy off, Michael nearly steals the show (we even get the famous kiss). So it’s a measure of the dazzling achievement of Haydn May – one of four Billys on this tour – that he hits the jackpot and scores astronomical marks at every turn.
Turn he does, and twists, and performs sensational acrobatics, and pirouettes. Time and again one thinks: ‘Haydn can’t cap that’ – and then he unleashes another humdinger of a leap.

And another nice one:

"Billy is a typical young lad and enjoys going to boxing classes with friends"

I'm laughing, but it really is a disgrace.
