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

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
