"The standout is Chris Jenkins’ Riley, Britain’s answer to Patrick from Schitt’s Creek. Sweet, dopey and exuding big ‘cool dad at a barbecue’ energy, Jenkins is nonetheless able to put himself through the wringer in the more emotional scenes.”

“Chris Jenkins plays Christopher Baldry with a raw realism, switching from euphoria to traumatised bewilderment with startling ease. He is a man on the edge for a lot of the time but he has a quiet dignity. I found Chris to be extremely convincing"

"Best of all, Jenkins gives us an engaging, dynamic Jonathan who we can almost see thinking: he credibly conveys the chronic self-absorption, puppy-like enthusiasm and even the periodic despair of the artist, yet is never less than relatable. His vocals also rise to the challenges of Larson's thrilling but demanding score. He is a knockout."

"Chris Jenkins displayed real depth as he explored his character's journey, as well as being a talented singer and dancer."

“Upper-crust Captain Chris Baldry’s (a perfectly cast Chris Jenkins)... fragile ego disintegrates and his love for the 'dowdy' Margaret gains manifest intensity. Chris Jenkins tears away at Baldry's masculinity touchingly and convincingly; curling up, foetus-like, both literally and metaphorically.
