The Guardian
“Adam C Booth, Helen Power and Marianne Benedict deserve to become household names… if this doesn't razzle-dazzle you you ought to see an optician.”
The Stage
“Helen Power does full justice to the notorious Roxie Hart, a part variously defined over the years by stars such as Ginger Rogers, Liza Minnelli, Brooke Shields and Christie Brinkley… this earlier version is glorious vaudeville, a hot streak of routines, richly comic, visually stunning and jazzily breathtaking.”
Manchester Evening News
“Helen Power plays murderess on trial Roxie Hart with the sophisticated mix of attitude, naivety and desperation the role demands”
Musical Theatre Review
“[Benedict as Velma] is ably matched by Helen Power as new girl on the block Roxie Hart. While her stature may be considerably smaller than her co-star, her presence and performance is equally as strong.”
Manchester Confidential
“Helen Power’s Roxie Hart, a petulant, murderous, manipulative vixen, is nevertheless immensely appealing. Her dawning realisation of the power she has to take control of her life unfolds brilliantly.”
