Quotes:

The acts themselves are breathtaking… while strongwoman Mel Fyfe and pint sized Emma J Hawkins are a superb couple of modern day clowns.       Glam Adelaide, Rod Lewis

Hawkins is terrific in cahoots with Mel Fyfe, the company's long-serving strongwoman.Their snippy stage relationship, acrobatic routines and unison tap-dance breaks are a delight throughout. 

                                                                                                                    Sydney Morning Herald, Jason Blake

Oz veteran Mel Fyfe is back as the tap-dancing strong woman who endures all kinds of backchat from naughty sidekick Emma J. Hawkins, who stands just over a metre tall and commands the stage with her snappy humour and vibrant dancing. Their tap-dancing, acrobatic double act is eye-popping and joyous                                                                                        The Sun Herald, Elissa Blake

…the heart of the show....truly dazzles...Together, the strongwoman and the diminutive performer are a remarkable double-act.....subverts stereotypes around traditional notions of beauty and femininity                                                                          Arts Hub, Richard Watts

Fyfe's interaction with short statured performer, Emma J. Hawkins, is a delightful thread, their contrasting sizes melding delightfully with their shared repartee throughout.

                                                                                                      Stage Whispers, Neil Litchfield

Circus Oz stalwart Mel Fyfe displayed her strongwoman powers and defied gender stereotypes in an extraordinary feat.....                                                                Australian Stage, Rachel Orzech
