★★★★★ "It’s an inspiring celebration of an Australian sporting hero, brought vividly to life through sweat, storytelling, and soul. A Thousand Words

★★★★★ “For theatre lovers, it offers a new respect for athletic discipline. For sports fans, it offers something rarer. Interior life. “It bridges two worlds that too often sit apart. It celebrates excellence without irony, it sweats for its applause. Sport and art do not need to compete. In Cadel: Lungs on Legs, they come together.” The Scoop
