‘Hughes
plays Margo with coquettish delight… the songs are the bitter-sweet and Hughes pulls them off with great gusto’ www.gscene.com
'Writer and performer Melinda Hughes gives an exquisite performance as the troubled star, railing as much against her own empty pursuit of decadence for its own sake, as the rise of the far-right.' www.thelist.co.uk
