Ride has a fantastic story that anyone can enjoy, coupled with catchy and soaring songs, it makes for a delightful night of musical theatre. While it works perfectly well as a one-act musical, audiences might be wondering if expanding it out might allow us more of a chance to understand Annie, her achievements, and her obvious heartache

“ ‘Ride’ is going from strength to strength, capitalising on existing successes and somehow making their last near perfect run even better.

“Sarah Meadows’s production... often feels claustrophobic, performed within a mahogany proscenium arch that frames an office lined with worthy-looking books...the volume is unrelenting. If there’s one thing that this show demonstrates, it’s that beltier isn’t always best.”
