"[4] The Australian stated that Finn "has approached Ladies in Black with such wholehearted sincerity and creative generosity ...creating an immensely engaging score filled with gorgeous melodies that make you care about the characters singing them.

But Finn’s canny lyricism transports the play from its late 50s context to a subtle but salient comment on social issues of today.

Naomi Price received the award for Best Female Actor in a Supporting Role, and Sarah Morrison was nominated for Best Emerging Artist.
