(Praise for Broken Sex Doll:)

Musically rich, technically innovative and purely fun... Brilliant staging... It already feels like a cult classic.

(Praise for Broken Sex Doll:) 

Broken Sex Doll redefines what theatre can do... Impossible to categorize and difficult to describe... Your abs will ache from the fun of it. The success of the show relies on its multi-talented cast. Leading man Benjamin Elliott steals every scene with powerful vocals and enviable comedic timing. It is a show that you won’t soon forget.
