REVIEWS

What Riverdance did for Irish Dancing... Drummer Queens does for drumming. Look out world "Here Come the Drums"! – Broadway World

A live music experience of such vein-throbbing, entertainment-packing stagecraft ... DRUMMER QUEENS is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser, and suitable for families too. Loud and large-scale, certainly showy. - Limelight

Their craft as drummers was exemplary and sometimes breathtaking. - Sydney Morning Herald

DRUMMER QUEENS is both a joyful and inspiring experience, that showcases the empowered energy encapsulated in sounds and rhythms. - Dance Life

A spectacle of sound, light and action - Sydney Arts Guide

The Drummer Queens fully rule - Stage Whispers

A non-conventional, loud, high energy, and stimulating night out at the theatre. - City Hub

A big budget spectacle that would particularly appeal to anyone interested in music, dance and high energy experiences while also being an empowering message to women interested in engaging in areas that have traditionally been seen as male spaces. - Broadway World

With stunning staging and world-class percussionists, it certainly delivered a live musical experience I haven't seen before. - Travel & Lifestyle

DRUMMER QUEENS is a vibrant and engaging evening full of rhythms, groove and musicianship and the audience seemed to revel in every ounce of energy with every reverberating beat. - Scene Point Blank

It's quite refreshing these days to see a performance with a strong female lead, let alone eight of them. Each one is an exceptionally gifted percussionist who brings their own personality and talents to the stage for the intimate show. - Reviews By Judith
