Broadway.com Review

Really, I promise a real post very very soon, but first, some recent reviews:

Charles Isherwood of the New York Times says "A cute spoof of children's theater, with some truly funny songs and endearingly loopy performances from a cast of just three." His only complaint is that it should be 90 minutes. A better a review than the others recieved, plus our color picture led the article in print. I do appreciate his comment that these are first runs of shows without workshops. Some people don't seem to understand what happens after a workshop.

This Broadway.com rave is ridiculous. I now bring you to a magical land called Quote City. Come with us:
  • "This twisted treat lives up to its outrageous title admirably, thanks to the wicked wit of the creative team and a flawless, fearless cast!"
  • "Patterson and Varod's book captures a Christopher Durang-like sensibility that is infectiously entertaining!"
  • "Varod and Saferstein's score is a total treat!"
  • "Highlights include the relentlessly catchy Fuzzy Duck anthem 'You Can Do It All' (which I've been humming more than a few times), Oedipus' naughty, witty lament 'A Little Complex' and Jocasta's showstopping Latin rhythm-tinged 'My Husband is My Lover is My Son'!"
  • "The cast bringing the surreal world to life is uniformly terrific!"
  • "Gavin Lewis brings a delirious manic energy to his roles!"
  • "Laura Jordan matches Lewis beat for beat with her edgy, hilarious work!"
  • "Reed Prescott nearly steals the whole show!"
  • "Directed with a sure hand by Dan Fields!"
  • "In the capable hands of these young comic minds, it can be just as horrifyingly fun as it sounds!"
.... yes, I added the exclamation marks. Shameless of me.
