"Rock Nativity is no ordinary musical. It not only makes you want to dance and sing long after it's over... [but it's] a very moving and genuine expression of the birth of Christ... [and] generates the kind of warmth and inspiration reminiscent of a religious revival meeting and a modern version of a medieval mystery play all rolled into one.... Dazzling."

"I am delighted to discover that according to the composers of this musical, Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, Rock Nativity does not necessarily mean primarily loud. It can mean infectious, hummable tunes with light and shade; and rock lyrics, according to this writer, David Wood, can have directness, poetry and wit.... I surrendered entirely to its exuberance and sense of theatre."
