Reception
Marguerite was received positively by the critics. The Daily Mail called it "magnifique", stating that it was everything "a proper West End musical should be", and particularly praised Ruthie Henshall's performance. Richard Littlejohn however was more critical, describing it as "not a patch on Les Mis". The Sunday Telegraph said it was a "remarkable production" that "raises that bar for modern musicals". The Daily Telegraph praised the leading actors, as did The Independent and The Times.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
