Find out how critics have been reacting to Strut & Fret’s return to the UK with their new show…
Broadway World: **** “It’s an incredibly fun piece of circus that never fails to enthral and requires no small amount of timing and bravery on the part of the performers.”
The Guardian: **** “Flynn Miller and Kimberley Bargenquast’s erotic trapeze act is more on-brand. I can’t promise Sabrage will pop your cork – but it’s a very easy show to enjoy.”
London Theatre.co.uk: ** “No doubt there are plenty who will revel in it all (including most of the rowdy first night audience), and bracket it as harmless fun. But far from emulating the fizzy stuff it celebrates, it left me feeling decidedly flat.”
Theatre Weekly: ***** “Some of the strongest moments include impressive foot-juggling by Emma Phillips in the first half and breathtaking aerial acrobatics by Flynn Miller and Kimberley Bargenquast that close the second act. From a comedic perspective, the audience responded most enthusiastically to the fully nude opening of Act Two and a hilarious physical theatre performance by Spencer Novich.”
The Review Hub: ***** “Sabrage is every bit the flashy extravaganza you hope it might be, yet also delivers personality and an endearing feeling of shared experience. Fresh, fun and freeing, this lavish celebration is a truly wonderful way to forget your troubles, escape from reality and let loose.”
All That Dazzles: ***** “Sabrage is sexy – it’s fun, it’s a visual feast with glamorous Moulin Rouge-style costumes and its ridiculous, obscene humour is hilarious. If you’re looking for something unpredictable, astounding, and with nudity galore, pay a visit to Lafayette and indulge in the one and only: Sabrage.”
The Standard: *** “As with all such shows it’s more tease than strip, and I’d personally like more acrobatics and less audience humiliation. But this is an all-in experience where we’re encouraged to eat, drink and take pictures throughout (though “no filming during nudity,” boo).”
West End Best Friend: ** “Kimberley Bargenquast and Flynn Miller (Duo Wonderlust)’s acrobatic aerial routine gives the show the sexy allure that it is clearly aiming for. It is tasteful and looks effortless.”
The Stage: **** “Exuberant and raunchy blend of circus and burlesque, perfectly framed in this intimate venue.”
The Spy in the Stalls: **** “Not quite cabaret, not quite circus, but an intoxicating blend that can’t fail to get corks popping.”
A Young (ish) Perspective: **** “Sabrage is not a show for those seeking traditional theatrical narrative. It’s a boundary-pushing cabaret that celebrates physicality, camp humour, and uninhibited performance. For audiences seeking an evening of entertainment that defies conventional expectations, this show delivers a memorable, if occasionally uncomfortable, experience.”
