Reception
[edit]The Eastern Herald's Emily Gibson wrote "It's very hard not to be affected by 40 people singing and stamping their hearts out on stage. Brain, The Fast Food Musical is an infectiously enjoyable show."[2] Bob Evans of The Sydney Morning Herald praised the show noting "The young cast mostly handle it well, although at times the spick-and-span conception borders on the slick."[3]
