Playwright Priest, Father Dorn's review:
But the extremely bright director, Colin Roybal obviously "gets it," and makes the most of Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney's brilliant book, lyrics and music. The show is uproariously funny, the musical numbers are show-stoppers, and the cast over-acts (if that's possible with this material) with total abandon. Despite numerous heavily eroticized situations, the show is far from titillating. It's hysterically funny and repugnant at the same time. CLICK HERE for the full review
