Published Reviews

"...sweet, silly, at times grotesque, but irreplaceable."

Adam Perlman, Backstage

"This is a comedy, a big, fun comedy..."

Lisa Ferber, NYTheatre.com

"It's a rock musical that works -- clever lyrics, characters that are funny and sad and cute and silly, just like were in eighth grade."

Joel Markowitz, DCTheatrescene.com

"This musical is quirky, fun, delicious and a gem."

PJ Gatch, EdgeNewYork.com
