Reviews

"One of the two best reasons for seeing this show is Debbie Kurup as Diana. She’s brilliant: black, sexy and hot, with a great voice and great moves." Michael Coveney - WhatsOnStage.com

"Witty tales of New York romance are a staple of both musical theatre and TV sitcom, and I Love You Because stands up favourably in comparison with the best of them. Jodie Jacobs and Debbie Kurup excel in their roles of potential love interests" Scott Matthewman - The Stage
