Food of Love
27 October 2017
Ben Elton has a dig at boy bands and musical theatre as Will needs to get a coat of arms to keep his dad happy and write his next play.

What Will really needs is something that would enthuse the audience, gets them to wave their arms up in the air and repeatedly turn up. The answer lies in a musical, but a musical with popular songs that are already hits.

Will turns to popular composer Thomas Morley who all the young girls love and rejigs his 'Comedy of Errors.'

Noel Fielding gives an half baked performance as the vain, selfish and tax avoiding pop idol. However it just felt a little too much of a hatchet job on the plethora of musicals in London's west end.
