'Just like the cartoon it's an ingenious little show ...you couldn't wish for a better Alex than Robert Bathurst, who is a delightfully loveable toad.... this is a market leader in the West End's FTSE 100' Daily Mail.
'Bathurst is dream casting as Alex, the City high flier who loves his work as long as it's someone else doing it. Director Phelim McDermott has opted for a slick mixture of animation and live action....Bathurst's smoothy-chops charm holds everything together wonderfully' Evening Standard.
'It is flawless comedy. Bathurst delivers his stream of expertly sculpted, wincingly accurate gags with unflagging, effortless panache' Time Out.
Following last year's smash-hit season at the Arts, everyone's favourite obnoxious investment banker is back by popular demand!
Celebrated stage and screen actor Robert Bathurst (Cold Feet, Whipping it Up) reprises his critically acclaimed role, bringing Alex to three-dimensional life
Award-winning director Phelim McDermott (Shockheaded Peter, Improbable Theatre) comes together with a top-class design team to bring to life ingenious animations from the pen of Charles Peattie in what the critics agree is a hilarious night out for theatregoers and a must-see for fans of the cartoon. All the regular characters from the cartoon strip are here: his timid and inept sidekick Clive, long-suffering wife Penny, abrasive boss Rupert, stroppy client Mr Hardcastle, as well as graduate trainees, lap dancers, bibulous journalists, freeloading industrialists and all the other fringe characters of City life.
