"Success!" is full of splendid material and is loads of
fun." - Mike Gibb, Masquerade
"An
adaptation of the Faust legend, ... it has some
bright, breezy and catchy numbers. I will be surprised if anyone who buys it
is disappointed with the standard of the songs." - Terry Wardrope, Words
and Music
"Taylor's
score has several attractive songs . . . They're all sung as if they are the
hottest songs to come from the West End." - Show Music
"The whole
show is firmly tongue-in-cheek, with a fair amount of parody, and is great
fun. It has a contemporary score, very different from Wuthering Heights, with
some fantastic jazzy numbers. I loved every second of it." - CD, Beneath
the Mask
