A positive review from the Oxford Times for the touring play, Some Like it Hotter:
“Troubled spirit Charlie, touchingly played by Patrick Bridgman, bereft after his mother’s death, has taken an overdose. As a lonely child, he had identified his glamorous but unhappy mum with Marilyn and embraces the opportunity to be whisked back to the happier days of Monroe’s career zenith.
Sarah Applewood’s Marilyn supplies ideal counterpoint, as conflicted and confused in the spirit world as she was in life. All the cast are exceptional musicians (Marilyn plays a super sax) and the show is peppered with fine musical numbers.
Richard Hurford’s script is an excellent framework on which to hang the high-energy performances and some profound ideas.”
