“In a nutshell (cherish the pun, if you please), Julian Blackmore’s score, Becca Anderson’s and Dan Marshall’s book and lyrics, enough energy to shame the Manhattan Project, and a cheesy set combine to offer an other-worldly blast of real musical comedy.” STAGE BUDDY by Jack Mauro

“With the vibrant yet simple set by James J. Fenton, Caruso’s ingenious basic staging and placard use keeps the action moving and laughs at full volume.” THEATRE IN THE NOW by Michael Black.
