Reviews
"It's Gypsy by way of Waiting for Guffman, a frothy mix of gallows humor and naivete set to composer Michael Friedman's jaunty vaudeville tunes."
Erin Keane, Humana Courier-Journal
"Dan O'Brien's brilliant play tells the important story of how a group of talentless showbiz spinsters from Iowa gave birth to the twentieth century. This play was right on point, and moved me on every level. I rarely go back to see a play for a second time, but this one I will watch again."
J.S. Holland, Louisville Mojo
