Praise for A Jaffa Cake Musical
★★★★★ Theatre Weekly
“Equally impressive is Katie Pritchard as the villain of the piece”
★★★★★ The Indiependent
“Tax Man’ suited Pritchard’s voice to a tee, and her fantastic riffs and solid dancing make the number a highlight of the musical.”
★★★★ The Stage
“The Tax Man (is) played by the human dynamo that is Katie Pritchard”
★★★★ Broadway Baby
“Katie Pritchard as the Tax Man steals the show with a lot of humour in the role coming from an observationist, self-aware logic and boiling down this huge umbrella concept into common sayings and realisations. Pritchard’s appearances as this character add an element of fun villainy that we love to hate, like a pantomime villain but more sophisticated.”
