"Ron Li-Paz, Loren Geeting and Christianne Tisdale all boast operatic as well as musical credits; but they hurl themselves into the set pieces of Tim Albery's riotous production with all the brio of veteran singer-hoofers."

"It develops round the delivery of a statue of a shapely Venus dubiously acquired by the art connoisseur and collector Whitelaw Savory , sung by the Californian born bass Ron Li-Paz who also studied at RADA. His sonorous voice is never stretched and he sings and speaks his role with fluency, clarity and conviction."
