'Money, of course, and sets don’t convey a sense of affluence more convincingly than this one, with its impressive illuminated staircase, grand piano, downstage floor with its roulette table markings and, above all the opulence, that vast starlit sky.'
'...the most lavish set the Salberg’s ever seen…'

'It sounds great – Kate Edgar returns to the Playhouse again as musical director and arranger – and looks a million dollars on Alex Marker’s set with its illuminated staircase, giant dice, roulette-wheeled floor and gilded stage.'
