I'm probably about 30 years too late for Love Island but I loved this show. It was full of energy and delivered in a professional and finished way by a talented cast.

Not what I was expecting at all. I thought we’d see actual characters from this years show. However I absolutely LOVED IT! The posh boy and the Essex girl had me in stiches. Talented cast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Silly and fun and hit all of the Love Island cliches very well. Sadly though there was no real plot or character development or any critique (positive or negative) on the show. As a result we don't really care about any of it. The way it all ends is somewhat amusing (and timely) but, equally, just brings it to a close and then we all go home.

Booked this as a show for my hubby, 16y/o daughter and me as we’re fans of the show. Soooo much better than I was expecting!
It. Was. Hilarious! In fact I laughed so hard at “Dave” at one point I nearly triggered an asthma attack

Saw this today... absolutely loved it. High energy, laugh out loud songs. Exactly what I expected it to be. I would recommend it if you are looking to see something upbeat and fun at this years fringe. *****

One of the most bog standard musical parodies I’ve seen at the Fringe. A couple of jokes landed but the rest where just flat. If you’re a fan of the ITV show this’ll be your thing and you’ll appreciate the inside jokes and nods but overall it was cringey to the highest level. It is what it is

Very sad to be leaving Edinburgh today. Saw some fabulous shows with my wife and friends. Got a Text was one of the highlights. A joy to watch. Very funny, not what I was expecting at all. Well done :)

Myself and daughter really enjoyed this show. Great catchy songs.

This was one of the most painful, excruciating hours of my life. The show did not so much parody Love Island as reenact it in its most boring form. The songs and choreography were either forgettable at best or unbearably cringe at worst.
I would absolutely not recommend spending your money on this show.

Full on laugh out loud show. The sign of a good show is when the audience are all leaving with smiles on their face and singing the songs. Highly recommended, worth watching if you can fit it into your schedule.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - bloody brilliant. Absolutely hilarious! Had the pleasure of watching this show yesterday. Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Impressed with the whole cast and crew - especially the Essex Girl, she was comedy gold.

Absolutely loved this show. If I’m honest I did get dragged there by my wife and daughter. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it one bit. Don’t be fooled into thinking you’ll just be watching a rerun of the TV show. This musical just takes the absolute mick. The millennial song was pure genius. I don’t want to give too much away but I was crying with laughter when the new Islander came on. Hoping to catch the show again at some point depending on our timetable. Well done
