My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this show, the jokes, even though the audience was mostly over 60ish, it was a great night out.

We SO enjoyed A Shortcut to Happiness (vintage Roger Hall at his best) and just cannot believe the leading lady normally speaks perfect english! We thought she must be Russian. Did so love the "cultural couple" also. Could easily go to see it again if given the opportunity.

Typical Roger Hall style, overstaing the obvious, in a humourous and entertaining way. The acting and wardrobe were great. The props were cleverly interchanged throughout the play to provide for the dance studio or the home setting. Well worth attending for a night of sit back and enjoy Kiwi humour.

A really fantastic show. It was so good that you barely seemed to sit down and it was over. I found it very funny and was amazed at the dancing and acting. Very very enjoyable and so pleased I went.

Favourite moment: The folk dance at the end of the performance. The costumes were lovely and the music was toe-tapping. All the actors looked the part. @

I thoroughly enjoyed this performance. The acting was superb especially Laura Hill who never wavered in her accent. Her dancing skills were also excellent and overall I thought she stole the show. Stuart Devenie was also brilliant and one of his best performances that I have seen. This is not to take anything away from the other actors who were all excellent.
The storyline and humour were very convincing and something everyone could recognise. All in all a very enjoyable experience. .

A wonderful show, full of laughs and sharp observations. All the actors were superb, not only in their speech but also the facial expressions, movements on stage, and timing. The script was touching, sharp in the right places, soppy when required, and just flowed right on through. The acting was so good you were transported into the world of Ned & Natasha, and wanted to join in the folk dancing classes! It's hard to pick out any one as standing above the rest, but Laura Hill deserves special mention - her accent was faultless and consistent. Not a false note was struck. And Cameron Rhode's face was priceless. Not a word was heard but the expressions conveyed a world of laughter.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

A great show - well presented and directed. Good entertainment with many a good laugh to be enjoyed. Some dialogue went a little too fast at times to pick up the detail of the dialogue. However Roger Hall has an art of creating a play with a nuance that is very New Zealand in style.

Great show....absolutely recommended. Sharp, witty, well acted, and so topical. We are pleased we decided to "cross the bridge" for this, as the silly thing is we so often choose not to for no logical reason. Make the effort people, it's worth while.

This was the best Roger Hall play we have seen. Funny, superbly acted, great mix of dance music, one liners, and hilarious characters. Laura Hill was totally convincing as a Russian. Her acting was superb and she has a lovely voice. Beverly and Raymond were wonderful characters. Enthralling from start to finish. We didnt want it to end! Loved the uniquely Kiwi colloquialisms and local vernacular.

Once again Roger Hall has written a play that makes you laugh at being a Kiwi. The stage settings were effortlessly changed with the characters continuing to entertain whilst changes took place. The actors were well cast and their timimg was excelellent. A most enjoyable show!

Loved the play. I don't know how Roger Hall keeps writing so many relevant but hugely funny plays! We went with a team of workmates. Everyone loved it. Good kiwiana. It's great to be able to laugh at ourselves. It was very current and up to date with what's happening in NZ right now. Excellent cast who played their characters very well.

Right from the opening lines it feels like typical nz situation.Bereavment. Lonely people. A shortage of eligble men. The script is perfect the casting and performance excellent. Light hearted comedy dealing with meaningful yearnings feelings and situations so many people have to deal with on a daily basis.One leaves the theatre with good feeling and hoping that one day they might have to find their short cut to happiness the door is open with opportunitys
