    “ So what do you get when you mix a singing ghost in chains, a Chia Pet based on alien technology, a sleaze queen you just have to love (I know I do), fake news, innuendos, lots of secrets and more rumors and gossip mongering than you can shake a stick at? Oh and did I mention songs, dancing and dark humor? And please don’t tell me there will be redemption….but who am I to spoil a great story? Tabloid by Marta Jorgensen is a journey you have to take. A must read. A must show. ”

    “

    I am not an avid reader of tabloids, but Tabloid is a funny and exciting play. Marta Jorgensen’s portrayal of Rhoda Haynes, disgraced playwright, is captivating and relatable. It was enjoyable meeting the larger-than-life personalities of this script in their bright coloured tabloid world. I would highly recommend this for anyone who likes reading about celebrity news being bandied about. Besides, the music and lyrics are great too. ”

    “ TABLOID by Marta Jorgensen is a mad, extravagant CANDIDE- in- reverse carnival, where all is for the worse, and the dark denizens of the world struggle mightily to make it so. Maybe there is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so, but framing can make everything bad, only in a bold, lusty, entertaining way. If you find THE SIMPSONS too subtle, JERRY SPRINGER too polite, and the SUN too fancy and elegant, you will be right at home in the world of TABLOID. ”

    “ Tabloid more than lives up to its name as an amalgam of outrageous stories and characters entangled in a web of fake news, stolen lives and projects and a final hellish denouement. With vibes of Jerry Springer The Opera, it nevertheless has its own story to tell borrowing in tabloid fashion from a variety of tropes, putting its own spin on them and showing plenty of savage, raw promise in its scurrilous patchwork. ”

    “ This piece gives wonderfully imagery in its dialogue. This coupled with the beautiful character creation with complex lives and relationships makes this a great play to begin with. However, I then listened to two of the songs ('Tabloid' & 'Hope and Pirde') and WOW! Beautiful piece and as catchy as any musical tune I've listened to (and I'm a huge musicals fan!) I would love to see this in the West End as I feel its on par with any of the big shows out there, brilliantly done! ”
