"So funny, so beautiful, so physically pithy that I defy anyone ... not to be smitten with Just for Show ... spectacular and strangely melancholic."
Sunday Telegraph
"Dazzling from the first scene to the last."
Le Figaro, Paris
"A little bit dance, a little bit drama but, more importantly, with a glorious intermingling of movement, text and image, a whole lot excellent."
London Evening Standard
"Startlingly beautiful ... overwhelmingly cinematic ... exquisitely corporeal and intimate."
The Times
"Dazzling yet disturbing ... Newsonís brilliance is his pure originality. Now, by embracing the power and possibilities of new cinematic techniques, he is taking DV8 into a fantastic new league of their own."
Brighton Argus
"I could watch DV8 repeat the same routine
tomorrow night, the night after the night after that,
next week and for as long as they care to give it ...
Just for Show is a SHOW that bears repetition:
it's a mix of corny cabaret, magical illusion,
multi-media brilliance and awesome dancing that
leaves stunning images etched into the memory.
The brain can only hold so many and I'm already
regretting the moments that have got away.
I defy anyone to be satisfied with seeing
Just for Show just the once."
