“Whimsically directed by Michael Lluberes, …Entirely fresh and novel …He has perfectly coached the cast to amp up the zany handful of caricatures that each plays. …This clever little show has Off-Broadway transfer written all over it.”
-BroadwayWorld.com
“They swap costumes and barbs with lightning speed in director Michael Lluberes' irreverent and hypertheatrical production.”
-TheaterMania
“Non-stop laughter.”
-Broadway Spotted
“There are plenty of laughs to be had throughout the musical, wittily directed by Michael Lluberes.”
-Cabaret Exchange
“Downright likeable. …A surreal cartoon.”
-Curtain Up
“Much of the fun here comes from the sure-handed comic direction of Michael Lluberes, who keeps the proceedings going at a fevered pitch. …Someone find this show, preferably with this cast, an Off-Broadway berth.”
