"A wickedly funny portrayal of the English Throne in song," wrote Laurie Atkinson in the Dominion Post, "Monarchy unpicks the rich tapestry of royal history, laying bare the lives of all the great monarchs, and their famous - and infamous - consorts, lovers and rivals." From 802AD to the present day the Kings & Queens are all there: Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, all the Henrys, Edwards, Georges and both Elizabeths, and all of the famous females like Eleanor of Aquitaine, Mary Queen of Scots, Nell Gwyn and the infamous Mrs Simpson... "Paul Jenden and Gareth Farr, who have firmly put the comedy back into musical comedies, Monarchy The Musical is a royal appointment for an evening of laughter you don't want to miss."
