Kat Johnson’s naughty but extremely lovable comedy is the funniest musical in town.

​

This Westminster-munching musical is deployed ironically; beneath it all, this is a big-hearted affair that pays note-perfect homage to Jeremy Corbyn and a year’s worth of his portrayal through the media’s eyes. This mirroring is apparent through the images within the script which are well-intentioned parodies.

​

 ‘The Book of Corbyn’ is, above all, very funny, breathing three-dimensional, all-singing, all-dancing life into the absurdities of British politics without ever being particularly mean. ‘Corbyn’ neatly sidesteps accusations of appropriation by making its imagery a scathing and explicit parody previous works, unafraid to show the timely research behind each number.

​

This is a tremendous show, as accomplished as it is funny.

It offers a series of great-to-sublime songs and satiric purpose.

Kat Johnson is a political parody prophet and it’s hard not to love her smash musical.
