    "Jackson Peele (book and lyrics) and Conor Neylon (music and lyrics) nail the hilarity of the situation, throwing in some priceless iconic Aussie references"

    "The Beep Test is heart-warming, side-splitting, mostly clean, good-natured fun. All parents, teachers and anyone who has a love-hate relationship with fitness will get a real kick out of this all-original mini-musical."
