Broadway World
“CLEVER, HILARIOUS… like a Monty Python version of Fiddler on the Roof performed by the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players. Off-the-wall hysterical choreography by Louisa Kendrick Burton greatly enhances the comedy… It’s very apparent from the joy displaced during every scene, especially the big production numbers, that the fun on stage is real and born from deep within the hearts of all involved in the show… I guarantee you will laugh uncontrollably throughout.” — Shari Barrett, Broadway World
