“Parnicky does a bang up job as the shy lover…her voice is stellar, she demands attention whenever she’s onstage and has comic chops she shows off in a mirror sequence w/ Molina that neatly recalls the one Lucille Ball and Harpo Marx executed back in that day. This one has its memorable qualities as well.” New York Stage Review

“What really makes this show soar is the extraordinary cast...Parnicky, with the voice and visage of an angel, is Mary Tyler Moore-esque...the undeniable glue that holds the show together…The company has total devotion to their characters most especially to each other. They are extremely generous performers and you can feel the familial love onstage.” Stage Biz
“The cast is uniformly engaging – all triple threats with vocal, acting, and movement skills. They stay true to their characters and deliver authentic and believable performances. The eighteen musical numbers range from the comedic to the sublime…Peter Saide, Sarah Parnicky, Lauren Molina, and Conor Ryan have exceptionally fine voices with extensive ranges and can interpret and deliver lyrics with sensitivity and nuance. “ On Stage
