Reviews
THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
★★★★★ "Philippa Hogg as young Elowen simply shone energy and youthfulness on stage and her voice was well suited to the folk feel of the show." -Musical Theatre Musings
★★★★★ "Philippa Hogg and Rosalind Ford are heart-breaking as the younger and older versions of his adored Elowen." -WhatsOnStage
★★★★★ “Philippa Hogg playing Benjamin’s wife enchants us.” A Younger Theatre
★★★★★ “Philippa Hogg and Rosalind Ford steal the show and provide the most haunting and beautiful moments. And with Ford’s cello, Hogg’s violin and their combined voices, I defy anyone to remain dry eyed throughout the evening.” A Spy in the Stalls
★★★★ “The production is defined by the wide-eyed brio of the five-strong, all-instrumentalist cast … The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ is something very special indeed.” Timeout
PIPPI LONGSTOCKING
Philippa Hogg and Matthew Churcher are suitably winsome as (Pippi’s) two new pals. The Times

THE LEFTOVERS

"Molly (Philippa Hogg) is wonderfully irritating and captures the mischief of her character beautifully." -British Theatre Guide
