What's most interesting about them is how these British subjects view the depiction of King George and of the American Revolution:
e.g.
re: King George: "It may be unfair to the original but it’s a terrific joke..."
"Even if you miss particular references, you feel the gist on your pulse: there’s a continuum between then and now and it’s thrillingly compounded by the fact that America’s nemesis George III (a tour-de-force from Michael Jibson in the comic show-stopper of the night) once lived round the corner; he bought what became Buckingham Palace."
"Inevitably it still feels like an American story. But we’re a nation hooked on American stories."
"With Michael Jibson playing the king as a gnomish, creepily malign, barking toff whose servant-playthings aren’t doing as they’re told, the king will register very well to an audience with both a tradition of pantomime and a love-hate relationship with its royals."
