“Vilanculo comes into her own as Victoria. She’s pricelessly pithy, and definitely one to watch.”
-Fergus Morgan, The Stage
“Alice Vilanculo clearly has a bright future ahead, the way she fully explores the role of Victoria is an absolute delight to watch.”
— Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly
“The leading lady Alice Vilanculo manages in all the tumult to show a vulnaribilty and comedic timing that lifts the play.”
— Amalie Sparrrbro, The National Student
“Original songs are sung and live music is performed - it allows the cast to showcase even more impressive skills. Alice Vilanculo is a particular highlight throughout; she sings, raps and performs Victoria so brilliantly, it's hard not to rewrite history and imagine the monarch as this kind of person forever.”
— Charlie Wilks, BroadwayWorld
“Alice Vilanculo offers a frank and daring ‘bad man queen’, in full command of her own path. Deflating her suitor’s egos one gibe at a time, Victoria rules the stage as a woman coming into her own.”
— Cherise Lopes-Baker, Words of Colour
